Speaking
Rebekah’s public speaking career began at 10 years old when she stood in the streets of Jersey City as a rally speaker defending the rights of trans students in school. Since then, she has presented to people of all ages in stadiums, church basements, Fortune 500 companies, major hospital systems, and everything in between.
When Rebekah speaks, people listen. She makes them laugh. She makes them cry. She brings them into the conversation. And in doing so, she helps them imagine a world where everyone can safely be themselves. Whether she’s speaking about policy, best practices, or belonging, participants walk away inspired to be a part of making change happen and equipped with the tools to get started.
““She embraces conversation, reaches across divides, and shows up with grace and empathy when people appear at a crossroads. She is accessible and humble. She inspires people of all ages and identities. She is not only leading change but shaping a world where every individual can thrive and be their authentic selves.””
