BECKY'S
STORY

Turning Tragedy into Triumph

Empowering Others Through Resilience and Support

Passionate About Inspiring Others

At just 15 years old, Becky Bowman White began sharing her story after a tragic drunk driving crash that took the lives of her mother and friend. From this heartbreaking experience, Becky became a passionate advocate against drunk driving, dedicating her life to raising awareness and preventing similar tragedies.

​

Now, 25 years later, Becky's presentation reflects not only on the crash but also introduces her five keys to living a happier life. These powerful guidelines encourage individuals to rethink their approach to happiness and inspire positive change.

How My Public Speaking Journey Began

 

From my drunk driving crash I became an advocate agents drunk driving and join Mothers Agents Drunk Driving (MADD) Rhode Island. Through MADD's youth programs I gained the confidence necessary to start publicly speaking on my own. My first presentation was called, Walking Away. I spoke about the night of my crash, how it changed my life and how important it is to never drink and drive. After 7 years of presenting, I received a lot of publicity, awards and honors but it was starting to take a toll on my overall happiness. It became too difficult so I decided it was time to take a break.

 

In 2010 I was asked to speak at MADD Rhode Island's Youth Leadership conference called TeamSpirit. I wanted to share the story about my drunk driving crash but in a different way then I had done before. This is when I came up with the idea for 5 Simple Guidelines. I wanted to share my drunk driving story but also touch upon what I feel are the 5 keys to living a happier and healthier life style. My new presentation was well received and I started to get my passion back for public speaking.

 

In 2016 I finally started to present my new, 5 Simple Guidelines presentation. I have been starting small but enjoying every minute of it. My passion for public speaking is back and I am ready to share these guidelines with the world.
