Odette Warder Henderson grew up on the South Africa's subtropical coast of KwaZulu-Natal. She is of Italian-Dutch and Scandinavian descent. Fluent in both English and Afrikaans. Odette developed a zeal for the camera growing up in South Africa with over 28 years modeling experience in United States of America, England, New Zealand, and South Africa. Odette's life is an fascinating one, a clear demonstration of strength and perseverance. She has overcome many challenges throughout her life. The coma she was in at the age of 16 was the one with the most lasting influence on her life. Odette was left handicapped and unable to speak when she awoke. She started a long and strenuous recovery program of almost nineteen months. Many doctors and people from around the world were stunned by her miraculous recovery. Odette wrote an autobiography of her key challenges in her life that she overcame with the help and guidance of Almighty God. Her passion is to live her life to the fullest extent and share her inspiring personal story with whomever crosses her path. 'It's your attitude toward circumstances that matter the most. Remaining positive and making the best of what you have at this moment. No matter how serious the medical condition is or how bad the medical facts are. Remember that miracles do exist, and that some of these miracles are not fully understood by man'. Odette Warder Henderson hopes to encourage others not to give up on life. To always believe in yourself and trust the power within ourselves.
