Praise from EO:
“Her demeanor, engaging presentation and vulnerable/honest/open dialog made for a classic EO experience - the 5%. I was fortunate enough to have a few different conversations with Amanda during the evening and I was blown away about her recurring themes of kindness, forgiveness & grace - I walked away feeling like no matter how much I try to practice these things, there is always an opportunity to improve. How EO is that? Trust & Respect, Together We Grow, Thirst for Learning and Think Big, Be Bold - last night's event checked every box." Jon Briccetti, Past President, EO Albany
About Amanda Knox:
Exoneree, journalist, andNew York Times bestselling author Amanda Knoxspent four years in an Italian prison and eight years on trial for a murder she didn’t commit. The scandal made headlines for nearly a decade, as Amanda – dubbed “Foxy Knoxy” – was exploited by the media and judged by the masses on a global scale. Though she was exonerated by Italy’s highest court, she was sentenced to life by the court of public opinion, forever branded as a killer despite her innocence. Since her exoneration,Amanda has fought to reclaim her identity and to find meaning in those stolen years and unjust incarceration, all while advocating for a more just legal system and a more ethical media.
She is the author of theNew York Times bestselling memoirWaiting to Be Heard andFree: My Search for Meaning as well as host of the podcast Hard Knox with Amanda Knox, which explores how to turn adversity into insight through conversations with guests who bring their own perspectives on resilience and post-traumatic growth.. Knox also recently served as an executive producer on Hulu'sThe Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox,a mini-series based on her life. Amanda sits on the board of the Frederick Douglass Project for Justice, serves as an Innocence Network Ambassador, and isan advocate for criminal justice reform and media ethics.
