Known for her live shows and positive energy, Hendrix says she lives by the adage "own your own universe," a lyric from one of her earliest songs. In addition to writing and performing, Hendrix conducts songwriting workshops both inside and outside of Texas,[4] and has established a nonprofit community arts center in the San Marcos area, the OYOU ("Own Your Own Universe"), offering educational and therapeutic arts programs, including for those who face neurological challenges or physical disabilities.[5]
