Building a more inclusive world

Joy is powerful.
Storytelling is strategic. Policy is personal.

Rebekah works at the intersection of all three.

At just 19, Rebekah Bruesehoff has already helped shape national conversations about equity and inclusion. First gaining international attention as the little girl in a pink coat holding a sign that read, “I’m the scary transgender person the media warned you about,” she transformed a viral moment into nearly a decade of sustained advocacy.

Policy

Storytelling

Rebekah speaks to companies, schools, faith communities, and national audiences, activating individuals and organizations to build inclusion.

Leadership

“A published author, public speaker, and recipient of the Ms. Foundation For Women’s Free to Be You and Me Award, Bruesehoff has devoted her life to dispelling the harmful myths around trans and gender nonconforming teens.”
