 I write and produce stories that transform the global conversation about race, gender, power, and the evolution of the human family…and I’m glad you’re here.

 

Latest book release

Women Talk Money is a groundbreaking collection that lifts the veil on what women talk about when they talk about money; it unflinchingly recounts the power of money to impact health, define relationships, and shape identity.

 
 
 
 

I challenge individuals and institutions to deconstruct cultural and political narratives, cultivate understanding and empathy across difference, and imagine a future story that supports us all.

TELEVISION & FILM WORK

I have written, developed and produced film and television projects with Warner Brothers, NBCUniversal, Amazon, HBO, and Paramount.

 
 
 


I guide people and organizations to release old, limiting stories about who they are, and write new narratives that support their aspirations to live in alignment with their true feelings, beliefs, and values.

What people have to say

 
Testimonials (AA)

“Rebecca’s message of love resonated throughout everyone in attendance...staff, board, volunteers, supporters and victims of domestic violence. As an organization committed to eliminating domestic violence by promoting the social, economic, and political self-determination of women it is imperative that these women feel and understand what it means to be loved not only by those close to them but also by those in support of them. Having a persona such as Rebecca show her support validated this need.”

— Patty Dingle

“Rebecca was wonderful! She was thought-provoking, fantastic on stage, and extremely gracious. Most important, she challenged the audience—students and faculty— to think.”

— Kim Davidson

Gettysburg College Fall Convocation

“Rebecca Walker’s conversation with our students was filled with real stories of her relationships, family and cultural expectations—and anxiety about living up to them—as well as risk-taking and decision-making. She was brave, warm, genuine and honest – her participation was essential to the success of the day and I thank her for generously giving of her heart and soul.”

—Peg Pitzer

Director of Events, Smith College Journal, The Womens Narratives of Success Project

“Women from all walks of life, generation, religion and color came together and were equally moved, perhaps closer to one another, by the profound message Rebecca shared. With a rare combination of wisdom and warmth, Rebecca held the audience close in her hands like a nest of new birds all leaning in to hear more. Rebecca’s voice at our event was immeasurably valued, desperately needed and deeply resonant.”

— Denise M. Berry

Pensacola News Journal, Gulf Coast Women’s Expo

“Rebecca was an excellent keynote speaker. Her tone and style created a warm, comfortable environment in which the audience was able to ask meaningful and sometimes difficult questions. We were enchanted for two solid hours, and I heard nothing but positive feedback after the event.”

— Clay Harmon
