Rebecca Walker is a speaker, manuscript consultant, workshop facilitator, editor, and award-winning author. Time Magazine named her one of the fifty most influential leaders of her generation. As a public intellectual, she is known for presenting ideas about race, class, culture, gender, and the evolution of the human family that challenge ideological rigidity.

Rebecca’s approach to charged subjects is incisive critique combined with heartfelt warmth. One of the original leaders of third wave feminism, Rebecca takes a non-partisan approach to identity politics. Whether exploring multiracial identity, contemporary masculinity, or the divisiveness of contemporary politics, she firmly believes that no matter how you look on the outside, lasting change begins with openness to the truths of others.

Audiences, workshop participants, corporate hosts, and readers from around the world comment on Rebecca’s accessible, honest, and future-forward contributions to their understanding of identity, power, social change, and creative culture. Authors compliment the powerful memoir-writing tools and techniques she shares, and the success they find after working with her.

Rebecca describes herself as a multiplatform catalyst for change.
