MEET OUR SPEAKER: ERIN GRUWELL
Erin Gruwell is an educator, author, and activist best known for her work with the Freedom Writers, 150 students facing poverty, gangs, violence, and the risk of dropping out. Under her guidance, all 150 students graduated from high school and pursued higher education. Their story became the #1 New York Times bestseller The Freedom Writers Diary and inspired the major motion picture Freedom Writers, starring Hilary Swank. Founder of the Freedom Writers Foundation and recipient of numerous humanitarian honors, Erin continues to champion education and social change while sharing a powerful message of hope, possibility, and the importance of standing up, speaking up, and speaking out.
