Rebecca Deng

Consultant, Author, and Motivational Speaker in DC metro area

Rebecca Deng’s story is more than a tale of survival; it is a testament to the strength of the human spirit. From the war-torn villages of South Sudan to the refugee camps of Kenya and a new
life in the United States, her journey embodies resilience, hope, and the power of education and advocacy.

Her book, “What They Meant for Evil” is the account of that unimaginable journey. With the candor and purity of a child, Rebecca recalls how she endured fleeing from gunfire, suffering through
hunger and strength-sapping illnesses, dodging life-threatening predators-lions, snakes, crocodiles, and soldiers alike-that dogged her footsteps, and grappling with a war that stole her childhood.

Rebecca is a former refugee. A mother. An Author. An advocate and a proud South Sudanese American.
Today, she’s an international speaker and advocate for women and children who have been traumatized and victimized by war. Additionally, she is a known motivational speaker. She has worked on levels such as the United Nations and at the grassroots level.
