About Y. Rená Cooper

Y. Rená Cooper is affectionately known by her family and friends as Rená. Seeing victims become victorious SURVIVORS and witnessing survivors thrive in their ‘after’ is the thing that drives her and gives her life.

A survivor of domestic violence, Rená made it her life’s mission to make sure her voice was heard. She makes sure she cries loud and spares not for victims of domestic situations. As a certified coach, Rená has become the influencer that many come to for assistance.

Rená is the founder & CEO of 4 My Voice Matters, a NFP (501c3) organization that raises funds and brings awareness to domestic violence and suicide prevention. She organizes events to raise monies for DV shelters and organizations throughout the country.

Rená has spoken at the University of Chicago, the Kimmy G. Foundation’s Beauty for Ashes, the Move Me soul youth dance and mentoring program. She is a member and speaker for Global Woman Club. She has spoken in Jamaica as well as in Mexico.

Her memoir entitled Assassination Avoided, Destiny Defined was released in 2019 and is available wherever books are sold. The memoir tells of her abusive relationship, survival of the abuse, the shooting, and the signs to look for when in a relationship that could possibly be abusive. Rená’s second book When Did I Stop Loving You will be released in March 2021.
