A remarkable speaker and storyteller, MacGibbon shares simple, effective strategies that anyone can use to overcome adversity, get back on track, reduce stress, and cultivate a sense of humor.
Marti MacGibbon speaks from personal experience. She hit rock bottom in every possible way as a hard-core drug addict and was trafficked to Tokyo and held prisoner by Japanese organized crime. As an empowered survivor and advocate, she has spoken at the White House and the U.S. Department of State.
MacGibbon has performed stand-up at the Hollywood Improv and Comedy Store.
