at our stunning new location, Lido House Autograph Collection, Newport Beach, for our highly anticipated Fall Luncheon Event: Igniting Social Change. We are thrilled to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be William Kellibrew IV, an international advocate and survivor.

William Kellibrew IV knows the impact that trauma and violence have on individuals and families all too well. At age six, he was sexually abused and at age ten, he watched helplessly as his mother and twelve-year-old brother were shot in their living room by his mother’s estranged boyfriend. In his memoir, “Resilient Rose,” William details his childhood traumatic history, troubled teenage years, and an encounter with hope and destiny that would propel him as a sought-after speaker, addressing violence prevention, trauma responsive and healing- centered approaches.
