Bring Her Voice to Your Stage

The Voice of Experience and Authority

Laura MacGregor is more than an author; she is a Speaker, Advocate, and CBC Nonfiction Prize Winner who brings a unique, powerful perspective to the most challenging conversations.

Blending her lived experience as the mother of a severely disabled child, her academic rigour, and her professional command of narrative, Laura offers candid and deeply empowering talks. Her presentations cut through the silence, transforming the isolation of caregiving and grief into shared strength and purposeful action.

This is not just a talk—it is validation and a call to action.
