Biography

By age 20, JULIA GARCIA, had already set out on her mission to create safe spaces for students to feel seen, heard and be truly connected. After losing people close to her from drugs and violence, GARCIA was determined to be the voice she wished she had growing up. Her grasp of such a wide range of social economic challenges whether they be manifested by, childhood, hopelessness, self-esteem, or assault is staggering.

While spending the first 5 years of her speaking career as the co-founder of a motivational speaking arts CRU in Arizona, Truality, GARCIA worked extensively with local k-12 schools, juvenile detention centers and outreach organizations.

Recently, GARCIA helped coach inmates for the first TEDx event in a women’s prison, where she was also a featured speaker. She is the creator of an award winning social impact campaign as well as a mission-based mobile app to improve social health on social media. As a published author whose spoken word videos have garnered over 60,000 views, she uniquely leverages art, education and technology to connect with students. Her commitment to support causes that create social impact in the community has also led her to become a certified trainer for advocacy and educational organizations such as and the Anti-Defamation League’s No Place for Hate Movement and Kids at Hope.

JULIA GARCIA admits that she never set out to be a speaker, she just set out to speak up… Now she is leading the next generation of voices.

Reviews

Julia did a fantastic job of connecting with our very large group of students. She even met with smaller groups later in the day, giving specific students an opportunity to meet and talk with her. So many students were deeply impacted by her visit, they are still talking about her weeks later. Dean of Students – Dixie Clarkston Community Schools

It actually made me really emotional because I connected to a lot of stuff she was saying and I loved how everyone else was really involved with it and how many other people actually had similar experiences as I did.” Edna M – Junior at Arizona College Prep High School

I would recommend this program to any school as a way to send the message that we are all unique and have challenges in our lives, but we can overcome them and grow toward our greatest potential. Dr. Deborah Chavez – Principal – Tartesso Elementary School

In my 25 years, this is the best program I have ever seen. – Seton Hall Univeristy
