Lucca Petrucci is a Nationally Recognized Motivational Speaker, Leadership Consultant, and proud LGBTQIA+ Advocate. His message is rooted in self-acceptance; and that’s not just something he teaches, it’s something he fought for. Lucca knows what it’s like to hide parts of yourself to fit in, and he knows the freedom that comes from finally choosing to belong to yourself. That journey is the heartbeat of his work. Since 2019, Lucca has spoken to over 50,000 students, educators, and leaders across the country — from middle and high school assemblies to statewide and national leadership conferences. He is known for his infectious energy, genuine heart, and real-talk storytelling that makes people feel like they’re having a conversation, not listening to a presentation. His speaking style wakes people up, helps them see themselves more clearly, and gives them a tangible framework for practicing confidence and authenticity in their daily lives. When he’s not on stage, Lucca’s probably singing his heart out in the front row of a pop concert, longboarding down the California coast pretending he can fly, or frolicking through Disneyland. He’s also writing his first book — a love letter to the quiet courage it takes to be yourself in a world that keeps telling you to be someone else. Lucca has spoken at premier leadership events hosted by: - Arizona Association of Student Councils - California Association of Student Leaders - Illinois Directors of Student Activities - lululemon - New Mexico Association of Student Councils - Nevada Association of Student Councils - Operation Snowball Inc. - Oregon Association of Student Councils - PFLAG National - Vision National Conference for Student Council Leaders He is also a sponsored speaker with the California Association of Directors of Activities (CADA), partnering with schools and districts throughout California to elevate student voice, strengthen campus culture, and empower the next generation of compassionate, confident changemakers.
