STORY
Turning Tragedy into Triumph
Empowering Others Through Resilience and Support
Passionate About Inspiring Others
Motivational Speaker
Traffic Safety Advocate
Empowering Teens Since 2004
​
At just 15 years old, Rebecca “Becky” Bowman White began sharing her story after surviving a tragic drunk driving crash that claimed the lives of her mother and a close friend. From that moment forward, she committed her life to educating others—especially teens—about the dangers of impaired driving and the power of making safe choices behind the wheel.
​
Since 2004, Becky has been speaking at schools, conferences, and leadership events across the country. She got her start with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Rhode Island’s youth programs, which helped her find her voice. Her first presentation, Walking Away, shared the raw reality of her crash and became a powerful tool in changing hearts and minds.
​
After taking a break to focus on personal healing, Becky returned to speaking with a renewed mission. In 2010, she introduced a new message—5 Simple Guidelines—sharing not only her crash story but also the keys to living a healthier, happier life after trauma. Her talks now weave together traffic safety, mental health, and resilience in a way that resonates deeply with young people.
​
Today, Becky creates impactful, age-appropriate presentations tailored to your conference, school, or event theme. Whether you're focused on impaired driving, decision-making, peer pressure, or personal growth, she will bring a heartfelt and inspiring message that your audience won't forget.
From
Becky
"I truly believe that something positive can come from my tragedy. Every time I share my story, I hold onto the hope that it might help prevent someone else from losing a loved one to a drunk or impaired driver.
​
I feel incredibly blessed to be alive, and I treat each day as a gift. Speaking to students, families, and communities is something I deeply enjoy. It gives me purpose—and it gives others a chance to reflect, reset, and make safer choices.
​
The 5 Simple Guidelines I share aren’t just part of my presentation—they’re an anchor in my own life. They’ve helped me grow through grief, find my strength again, and live with intention. I hope I have the opportunity to share them with your community."
