Emmabella Rudd is a 20-year-old advocate and activist. Upon being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 5, she decided she would do everything in her power to fight for type 1 diabetes. At 11-years-old, Rudd began advocating to her legislators on Capitol Hill, which catalyzed her passion for social change and policy. To this day, Rudd has raised over $350,000 for diabetes research and has educated thousands of students through her advocacy work. Rudd has written her own legislation in the State of Florida and is currently working towards lowering insulin prices on both the Federal and State levels. Being a college student in Florida’s Capitol was no mistake. Rudd plans to pass legislation to lower insulin prices and make insulin more accessible in the State of Florida before she graduates from Florida State University in 2023 with her MPH. Traveling annually to advocate in Washington, D.C. has inspired her work to be a voice for those disproportionally impacted by the U.S. Healthcare system. Rudd speaks in press conferences, testimonies, and news channels hoping to bring awareness to chronic illnesses, aspiring to one day fix the system that places profit before the people. As an aspiring civil rights and bioethics lawyer, she plans to fight both domestic and international health, human rights, and civil rights cases in an effort to reverse institutions that disproportionately impact underrepresented communities. Rudd aspires to run and serve in federal public office to continue to advocate in this capacity. She has been featured on national news networks such as CNBC and USA Today for her advocacy work.
