Grace Wethor Biography

Grace Wethor is an award-winning actress, director, bestselling author, and brain cancer legislation advocate. After being diagnosed with an untreatable brain tumor at age 13, Wethor moved to Los Angeles and began pursuing her dreams in film with full force. She gave her first TED Talk at age 15, released her first bestselling book at 16, spoke at the United Nations at 17, and released her first docu-series at 18. In 2024, she was honored with a United Nations Global Impact Award. Her most recent book, "Seven Thompson & the Art of Remembering," went viral with over 10 million views and hit multiple bestseller lists around the world. She is now a brain cancer and pediatric health legislation advocate and has made her way to the White House and Capitol Hill while spearheading bills that would bring over $250 million in funding to youth healthcare. Ten years later and still fighting, she hopes to use film to tell unseen stories and show other young people that they can pursue their dreams despite their circumstances or illness.

Grace Wethor Speaking Topics

  • The Dying Girl’s Guide to Life

    At 13, Grace Wethor was told she had six months to live. Instead of giving up, she built a formula for living with urgency, joy, and purpose; a framework that became her superpower. Ten years later, that mindset has carried her through filmmaking, writing, advocacy, and stages around the world. In this keynote, Grace shares her step-by-step approach to transforming fear into fuel and limitations into limitless possibility. She offers audiences a practical guide to reclaiming control of their story, finding meaning in the face of uncertainty, and building a life defined not by the time you have, but by the impact you create.

  • The Art of Context

    When Grace Wethor was diagnosed with a brain tumor at 13, it seemed like the worst moment of her life. But with time, that experience became the catalyst for her career, her purpose, and the impact she now has on audiences worldwide. In this talk, Grace challenges the way we label life’s events as “good” or “bad.” Through her story, she demonstrates how setbacks can be reframed as opportunities, how pain can fuel creativity, and how perspective is the most powerful tool we have in shaping our lives. Audiences leave with a deeper understanding of how to harness context to transform challenges into defining moments of growth, resilience, and even joy.
