Alyssa Rosenheck is a bestselling author and one of Architectural Digest’s Top 50 Photographers in the United States. Her debut book, The New Southern Style (Abrams), used creativity as a tool to humanize our differences and spotlighted creative courage as a tool for deeper human connection. Her forthcoming title, White. Blonde. Jew., reclaims the very words once used to silence her — a bold call to reject extremism, speak truth, and reclaim the center. 

Since the war began, Alyssa has traveled to Israel three times as a delegate, working closely with the AJC, ADL, and CUFI, and participating in the United Nations Global Summit. She applied pressure and mobilized community efforts to help defeat a BDS resolution in her hometown of Nashville, Tennessee, and continues to use her voice through op-eds and ongoing advocacy. Alyssa uses her platform to confront anti-American ideologies, combat antisemitism, and inspire others to act with moral clarity in defense of democratic values.
