On this episode of March Forth with Mike Bauman, Mike chats with Zhaklina Spencer!
Originally from New York, Zhaklina is an independent, alternative pop artist based in Nashville. With a strong faith as her driving force, she uses her music to encourage others to live from a place of knowing they are loved and inspire messages of mental well-being.
Mental health is a central focus for Zhaklina's purpose and message as an artist. In addition to contributing to mental health organizations like NoStigmas, To Write Love On Her Arms, and Project Semicolon, Zhaklina also founded Mental Health Songwriter Nights in Nashville. Established in March, 2022, Mental Health Songwriter Nights gives back to both mental health organizations and local artists. To date, that community has raised more than $3,405 for mental health.
In this conversation, Zhaklina speaks with Mike about being into music for as long as she can remember, her mental health journey and processing childhood trauma, her strong faith in God, her personal connection to mental health awareness and suicide prevention, the impetus for founding Mental Health Songwriter Nights in Nashville, and more.
This episode of March Forth with Mike Bauman features the song "You Can't Have My Mind" from Zhaklina, available where you get your music!
