Alyssa Rosenheck is a bestselling author, advocate, and one of Architectural Digest’s Top 50 Interior and Architectural Photographers in the United States. Her debut book, The New Southern Style (Abrams), reframed creativity as a vehicle for resilience, courage, and connection – revealing how art has the power to humanize our differences and remind us of our shared humanity. In her forthcoming title, White. Blonde. Jew. – a call to end extremism, speak up, and reclaim center – she took the words used against her and made them her newest title. Coming August 2026 (BenBella, dist. Simon & Schuster).
Beyond her creative career, Alyssa is a leading voice in the fight against antisemitism and a fearless advocate for Israel. She was honored with the 2025 Hero Against Hate award by the ADL and is a founding member of Artists Against Antisemitism. Since October 7th, she has traveled to Israel multiple times as a post-war delegate, participated in the UN Global Summit with the AJC, and collaborates closely with organizations including the AJC, ADL, StandWithUs, Consulate General of Israel to the South Eastern United States, and CUFI. Her grassroots impact is wide-ranging: she has mobilized communities alongside state legislators, played a key role in stopping two BDS resolutions at the city council level, and is actively engaged with the Tennessee-Israel Caucus. She regularly publishes op-eds challenging BDS, anti-American, and antisemitic ideologies, and speaks on college campuses to educate and equip the next generation to stand for truth and defend democratic values. Alyssa’s work is a testament to the belief that creativity is not just a personal pursuit – it is a collective responsibility for truth-tellers, a tool for moral courage, and a force for building stronger bridges.
