With a B.F.A in Theatre from Fordham University at Lincoln Center, public speaking is a natural fit for Tiffani Fest, who has called the stage her home & her sanctuary since childhood.

Only when she began her global philanthropy efforts in 2015 however, did her passion for advocating on behalf of women and girls who have experienced sexual violence around the world, begin to forge a path for her public speaking to emerge.

She is currently an Ambassador for New Light India, a non profit operating in the largest red light district in Kolkata, whose mission is to rehabiliate, educate, and empower women & girls there, thus ending the cycle of 2nd generation prostitution.

She is also the host and emcee of a Women’s Leadership Conference in Rajasthan called Utsava Maa, or “Great Mother,” uniting women from the east and the west in powerful workshops on female leadership & global sustainability.

Fest is also a passionate advocate for Childhood Cancer awareness, which remains the leading cause of death by disease for children under the age of 14. She proudly amplifies the voice of her family’s non profit The Phoenix Stone Foundation, which delivers care packages to families and children diagnosed with cancer, being treated at The Dell & Methodist Children’s Hospitals in San Antonio & Austin, where her nephew Phoenix was lovingly treated until his passing in 2017. Raising funds for childhood cancer research & fighting for a cure is a cause near to her heart.
