SPECIAL GUEST
Montana Tucker
Montana Tucker is an award-winning actress, singer, dancer, philanthropist, and social media activist who empowers from every angle. She has been modeling and acting since she was nine years old. As a singer, her songs have been featured in blockbuster movies, and as an actress, she has appeared in award-winning TV shows and several movies.
Montana’s passion has always been to combat Anti-Semitism and all forms of hate, and to educate people to love others for their kind hearts and souls and not because of their color, race, sexual preference, or religion. Montana has received honors and awards from numerous organizations and businesses. Just recently, FIDF, IAC, Magen David Adom, WIZO, Hatzalah honored Montana for her continued work in helping Israel.
Montana garnered acclaim for her educational online Docu-Series, “How To: Never Forget”. The series ends with a visit to Auschwitz, where all four of Montana’s great grandparents were murdered. Her grandmother Lilly survived. In April, her series was nominated for a Webby Award. Due to the series’ success, she was a guest on Good Morning America, Extra TV, The Kelly Clarkson Show, international news stations, and was featured in Variety and Forbes. With almost 14 million combined followers across her social media platforms, the majority being among the Gen Z population, Montana Tucker has become a household name.
