Transform representation in digital spaces with Owin Pierson, speaker and mental health advocate. Owin works with organizations to promote LGBTQIA+ inclusion and cultural identity, delivering impactful content featured in Forbes, Adweek, and GLAAD's Times Square campaign.
Owin Pierson is a Queer Asian-American content creator and mental health advocate whose work bridges the worlds of digital storytelling, cultural identity, and inclusive representation. Drawing on lived experience and academic grounding in psychology and education, Owin brings a thoughtful and deeply personal perspective to the ways media can shape narratives around belonging, resilience, and wellbeing.
Growing up in a biracial household and coming of age within a marginalized faith community, Owin found early on that mainstream spaces often failed to reflect the complexity of his identity. Determined to change this, he began using social media to explore the intersections of mental health, queer identity, and travel—creating content that offers visibility and community to others navigating similar journeys.
Now based between New York and Los Angeles, Owin has built a following of over 300,000 across social platforms, engaging audiences through honest reflections, advocacy, and creative partnerships with global brands. His work has been featured in major outlets including Forbes, Adweek, and Yahoo, and he was recently recognized in a high-profile campaign with OutFront Media and GLAAD in Times Square, promoting LGBTQIA+ joy and inclusion.
Owin is currently working on his debut book, where he shares more intimately about his upbringing, trauma, identity, and how he rebuilt his life after leaving the Unification Church. His content continues to foster connection and encourage open dialogue, making him a compelling voice on mental health, cultural pride, and the evolving landscape of digital influence.
Book Owin Pierson to inspire your team with his unique insights on mental health, cultural identity, and digital storytelling, drawn from his personal journey and professional expertise. Don't miss the chance to engage with a speaker who can transform perspectives and foster a more inclusive and resilient workplace.

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.
