NAMI Gulf Coast's 8th Annual Mental Health Conference was very successful. Rebekah's inspiring message drew rave reviews. AAE's greatest strength is your staff's excellent communication with your client.
NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness Gulf Coast) - Dec 21 2023 -
“I invited Rebekah to be a speaker at our global women’s conference after following her story as she was recovering from injuries sustained in the Boston Marathon bombing. I was so inspired by her optimism and her strength, as she faced the loss of the life she knew and embraced the road ahead of her with courage, humor and grace...and a new member of the family, her prosthetic leg, named Felicia! I knew that the women of Coca-Cola would be inspired by her story and her commitment to finding true healing and hope in the face of great adversity. They were. They laughed and cried and were reminded that anything is possible. Rebekah has such a genuine, loving heart, and she connects with audiences easily, as she shares her challenges and her triumphs, and shows everyone how to keep moving forward and finding joy. She has contagious positive energy, an engaging speaking style, and a true desire to share her meaningful message. I would highly recommend Rebekah as a speaker for any event. There is true peace behind her smile, and it will touch the lives of all who meet her.”

"What can we say about Rebekah? When she took the stage, she warmed our hearts, brought tears to our eyes and lifted our spirits. She is a gifted public speaker and her energy and positive aura left us all thankful for the encounter. Hearing her speak and being in her presence left us feeling hopeful and uplifted. To put it simply, we adored her."

Our overall experience was fantastic. This was our first virtual symposium to plan and I felt confident in having Rebekah as our keynote speaker and felt confident that everything we needed was going to be done.
