About the event

Me Ra Koh and her photography have been featured on Oprah, Live with Kelly, and Disney. She is well loved for how she inspires audiences with hilarious and heart-wrenching stories, from being a patient in a locked psych ward to living alongside Gibbons apes with her family in Thailand’s jungle. Join us for an evening of unforgettable transformation, as she takes us behind the curtain of creating an unconventional life for her family while also paving a way for women in the photo industry as one of the first woman photographers to be sponsored by Sony. She’ll share the most unbelievable stories of how she became Disney’s beloved Photo Mom to an audience of a million preschoolers to being the author of six books to her present-day work as co-creator of the Rising Phoenix Experience, a transformational photography experience designed to empower people in reclaiming their purpose and resilience.
