ABOUT ME
Nayara Silva is a singer, songwriter, community advisor, and activist against domestic violence. Born in Anápolis, Goiás, Brazil, she immigrated to the UK at age 18 with the dream of singing and ministering at the Assembleia de Deus church, reuniting with family, and building a new purpose. It was within the church that she met the father of her children and unknowingly became a victim of love bombing and emotional abuse. During her first pregnancy, she was kicked in the stomach just days before giving birth. Still, she remained silent holding on to faith and hope for change. During her second pregnancy, she was abandoned while pregnant and caring for a small child. Even without ever receiving emotional or financial support from the children’s father, Nayara chose to raise her children with love, strength, and renewed values. Yet Nayara made a powerful decision: to break the cycle and raise her children with love, dignity, and strong values. While still under visa uncertainty, she worked for years as a cleaner and housekeeper.

When her mother became ill and bedridden, Nayara took on full-time care and had to access UK public services
and government support.

Although she already spoke English, she didn’t know how the system worked. Realising that no one in the Brazilian
community knew how to help, she researched and learned everything herself. As she saw positive results, she began
offering translation and guidance to others, sharing the path she had discovered. ​​​​​That’s how Assessoria em Londres

Under religious pressure — excluded from the church choir for being a single mother — she gave love another chance, but once again found herself in an abusive relationship. After a calm beginning, her partner became controlling. The most severe abuse began just as Nayara began to rise again — accepted into university, growing her advisory firm, and shining again. Her growth became a threat, and the violence escalated. She endured psychological, financial, physical, and sexual abuse, and was completely isolated. The final straw was a sexual assault, which led her to report the abuse. Yet within 24 hours, he was released and returned to her home with threats and a gas leak attempt. With just £5 in her pocket, two small children, and over £6,000 in debt, Nayara fled her home in search of safety.
​
​Between 2022 and 2025, Nayara made public appearances, gave talks at events and church, and directly
supported dozens of women, guiding them on how to report abuse and rebuild their lives. In 2023, she performed
her original song “Go Girl” for the first time at the anniversary event of a women’s organisation — a song written
while she was being sheltered and recovering.

In 2025, she attended the official event at the Brazilian Consulate in London during the “Alerta Vermelho
Everyone Against Domestic Violence” campaign, led by judge Renata Gil. In the presence of activist Luiza Brunet,
Ambassador João Alfredo dos Anjos, and other authorities, Nayara spontaneously shared her testimony,
speaking on the importance of reporting abuse, the support she received, and performing “Go Girl.” That same
year, she was invited to perform and share her song at the 50th anniversary gala of Women’s Aid, one of the
UK’s most prominent domestic violence organisations. There, she will officially launch “Go Girl”, now a symbol of
healing, empowerment, and new beginnings. Her mission is clear: to be a voice, a bridge, and a force for every
woman still trapped in silence. Together, we rise. In addition to her work as an artist and advisor, Nayara is
committed to raising awareness within churches about domestic violence, promoting non-judgmental support,
proper victim guidance, and the safety of those offering help. After facing painful experiences within her own
church, she created the Christian Church Guide Against Domestic Violence, a tool designed to help faith leaders
and communities act with empathy, wisdom, and caution. Her message is clear: it is possible to support and
empower survivors without isolating them or exposing the community to risk — when done with the right approach,
care, and discernment. As a Christian woman, Nayara keeps her faith alive and her mission clear: to open
conversations, break silences, and ensure no woman is excluded for surviving. something she never chose.
She is available for talks, mentoring, and training sessions for women events , churches, helping to build safer, wiser,
and more compassionate environments for women in need of support.
