Liz Murray Speaker Biography

Inspirational speaker sharing homelessness to Harvard journey
Bestselling author of Breaking Night memoir
Co-founder of The Arthur Project youth mentoring program
Liz Murray transforms personal tragedy into triumph as a renowned speaker who shares her extraordinary journey from homelessness to Harvard, offering audiences powerful insights on resilience, possibility, and personal transformation.

As the bestselling author of Breaking Night: My Journey from Homeless to Harvard and founder of The Arthur Project youth mentoring program, Liz's story has been featured in a Emmy-nominated Lifetime film and on major platforms including The Oprah Winfrey Show, where she received Oprah's first-ever Chutzpah Award.

Liz helps organizations understand how adversity can become a catalyst for growth. Drawing from her experience as the child of drug-addicted parents who rose to graduate from Harvard, she demonstrates how seemingly insurmountable obstacles can be overcome through determination and a shift in perspective. Her presentations provide practical frameworks for building resilience within teams and fostering cultures where innovation thrives despite challenges.

Audiences leave Liz's talks with actionable strategies for personal growth, a renewed appreciation for their own capacity to overcome obstacles, and practical tools to build meaningful connections across differences.
