"If anybody needs to be inspired to get up when you’ve been kicked down, and say thank you to whoever/ whatever gave you the boot, I’m your speaker!” |
Amelia Frahm is considered an expert on marketing, publishing, and children/families affected by cancer. She’s appeared on radio and TV segments across the country and has been a member of the National Cancer Survivors Day Speaker’s Bureau since 2002.

With a professional career that began when she was hired to convince South Texans to build a nuclear power plant in their back yard and includes being a Flight Attendant; Frahm has survived and can speak with candor on just about anything.
Anthrax
“The hometown hero (me) got shoved off her pedestal by terrorism and I was no where near New York City, I was in Minnesota.”
College
“Never say never. When I was in college I was so shy I took a failing grade rather than get up in front of my class and introduce myself. Well here I am-- and pretty much everything I said I’d never--I’ve done, been or married.”
Family
“In Tickles Tabitha’s Cancer-tankerous Mommy, I portrayed the Mommy as irritable, mean, and moody or as the real Tabitha would tell you, just like her real Mom, only nicer.”
Marketing
“To survive cancer I had to take my medicine, the same can be said for marketing a children’s book, only instead of a pill I had to swallow humiliation, rejection, and my pride.”
National Publicity
“It was like finding out I had breast cancer at age 34, only this time instead of crying hysterically I laughed hysterically.”
Nuclear Power
“…they were visiting the nuclear plant waiting for a spaceship that was supposed to drop by and refuel. Nothing I could make up about my experience at a South Texas Nuclear Plant could be as farfetched as the truth.”
Publishing
“One year I was in the audience, afraid to raise my hand to ask a question, the next year I was the guest speaker.”
Surviving Cancer
“A victim fears tomorrow, a survivor lives life as if there is no tomorrow-despite her fears.”
Whether it’s a grade school, college classroom or corporate health event, Frahm’s presentations are informative and insightful. The following is a sample of some of her presentations:
