LISA KRISTINE

The audience sat silent, transfixed, as Lisa Kristine took them on a visual journey with photographs as their guide. …. Lisa delivered the most gripping opener I’ve ever seen in a presentation.”

Lisa Kristine uses photography to expose deeply human stories and to inspire change. For more than 30 years, Lisa Kristine has traveled to the most hidden parts of the world to document the beauty, resilience, and dignity of indigenous people. As a speaker and activist, she uses her voice to amplify the stories of the people she photographs and the causes she believes in.

Lisa regularly delivers keynote speeches and moderates panels around the world at conferences, museums, corporations, and university campuses. She has spoken on numerous TED stages, as well as the Vatican, Wisdom 2.0, Thomson Reuters Summits, and Trust Conferences.

Lisa’s natural charisma and grounded down-to-earth presence allow audiences to connect directly with her and the people whose stories she shares. Her talks take audiences on a journey into the heart of what makes us human.

Whether she is speaking on modern slavery or indigenous wisdom, the thread that runs through all of her talks is the unwavering conviction that we are all one family, no matter our origins, backgrounds or circumstances, and that wherever and whenever we can embrace this kinship is when positive change becomes possible, for ourselves, our communities, and the world.
