Speaking

Liz Holzemer is an award-winning author, awareness advocate, and adventurer who turns life-threatening adversity into a powerful call to action. Following her survival of a baseball-sized meningioma brain tumor in 2000, Liz has spent over two decades bridging the gap between patients and the medical community.

 

As the founder of Meningioma Mommas, she has helped spearhead over half a million dollars in critical research grants for elite institutions like Johns Hopkins, Harvard, and UCSF. A seasoned speaker for major medical centers, universities, and literary stages, Liz empowers audiences by sharing her remarkable second-chance story, dismantling the dangerous dismissals of "benign" tumors, and equipping women to cut through "med-splaining" to become their own best advocates.
