Meet Nevaeh & Obediah Carranza. Close-knit siblings and the heart behind the organization and band Zero Reasons, they live out their philosophy every day and share it with everyone they meet: “There Are Zero Reasons Not To Be Yourself!”

Raised in a military family and constantly on the move, they found consistent support in each other and their shared love of music. Through original songs and hands-on, educational workshops, Zero Reasons connects with people of all ages. Their mission is to advocate, educate, and equip others with real-life tools for navigating some of life’s toughest topics: suicide prevention, mental health, abuse, bullying, grief, and more.

Using creativity and the power of music, they show others how to take action, how to offer support, and what to do when it’s time to make a difference. 

This is their story.
