Picking Up the Pieces
Vanessa Canteberry is the founder of Breaking Barriers Unapologetically, a transformative movement built on her journey from childhood trauma to deep emotional healing. Raised with nonexistent relationships with both parents, Vanessa spent years navigating life in survival mode. As a single mother determined to rewrite her family’s story, she became the first in her lineage to break multiple generational cycles.

Vanessa is known for her raw transparency, her ability to turn pain into powerful lessons, and her commitment to guiding others through their own healing and restoration.
Today, she is a sought-after speaker, author, and advocate whose message empowers audiences to rise from their past, reclaim their voice, and walk into every room healed and unapologetically themselves.
She’s also a soul-snatching speaker who lets God speak to your soul to stir something within you so you can move.
