Rae Luskin is an award-winning artist, author, and creative mindfulness mentor who helps people transform pain into purpose through the healing power of the arts. A lifelong advocate for the expressive arts, Rae blends mindfulness, storytelling, and creativity to reduce stress, build resilience, and reclaim self-worth.

She is the creator of Creative Activists: Turning Pain to Purpose, a social impact platform and upcoming docuseries that uplifts courageous stories and fosters healing from gender-based violence through creative expression and community.

As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, Rae knows the pain of feeling broken and invisible—but also the power of creative expression and service to heal and ignite a life of purpose. Today, she guides survivors, creatives, and changemakers to step into their power, share their truth, and make an impact.

Because it’s never too late to turn pain into purpose.
