Public Speaker

 

Authentic, candid, and hopeful, Amanda is an experienced public speaker who champions the causes that have directly impacted her life. From building self-worth and self-esteem to changing the public narrative on suicide, Amanda seeks to empower her audience to bring mental health out of the darkness. Breaking the stigma surrounding this public health crisis takes bold conversations free from shame. Amanda believes that when bad things happen, we have a responsibility to share our stories so that others might know that they are not alone and that they too can find hope. Amanda shares her family's story with vulnerability, honesty, and hope for the future. Amanda's speeches are perfect for service organizations and schools as an outreach component to her concerts.
