LaToya Ruby Frazier
LaToya Ruby Frazier helps organisations confront systemic inequality through visual storytelling. This MacArthur Fellow and social justice photographer works with audiences to understand environmental justice, racial equity, and post-industrial community narratives. Featured at MoMA, named TIME100 honouree, and recognised globally for cultural accountability work.
LaToya Ruby Frazier is a photographer whose lens cuts through the surface of American life to expose the realities of poverty, racism, and environmental injustice in post-industrial communities.
A MacArthur Fellow and TIME100 honouree, LaToya has been the subject of a major solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. Art critic Jerry Saltz has called her "one of the strongest artists to emerge in this country this century."
LaToya's work centres voices and landscapes that dominant narratives routinely overlook. By documenting working people and their communities with unflinching clarity, she demonstrates how photography can function as both witness and catalyst. Her images, as TIME noted, "pierce our complacency and demand that we pay attention to the world around us with intention and compassion." This approach offers organizations and audiences a framework for understanding how creative practice drives cultural accountability.
Audiences leave LaToya's presentations with a sharper understanding of how art can surface invisible stories, a concrete perspective on the intersection of social justice and visual storytelling, and renewed awareness of the communities that shape the American experience but rarely receive public attention.
Book LaToya Ruby Frazier to challenge your audience to see what they have been trained to overlook.
LaToya's MacArthur Fellowship and MoMA retrospective signal the calibre here—her documentary work on post-industrial America gives leadership teams a rigorous lens on equity, representation, and the communities traditional narratives miss. Her approach translates directly to organisations rethinking stakeholder engagement and cultural accountability in ways that move beyond surface-level diversity initiatives.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
