New York Times bestselling author and motivational speaker Nancy Redd dares to empower a new generation—with facts instead of fantasies, and the priceless gift of self-knowledge.

In her latest book, Body Drama, Nancy celebrates the many versions of “normal,” replacing seriously erroneous information with the honest, medically proven truth in a language all girls can understand.

Two weeks after graduating from Harvard with an honors degree in Women’s Studies, author Nancy Redd won the title of Miss Virginia, going on to make the Top 10 and winning the swimsuit competition at Miss America 2004. Named by Glamour magazine as one of America’s top-ten college women “most likely to succeed—at anything,” Nancy once won $250,000 on Who Wants to be a Millionaire in 2002 (donating 10% to 4-H, where she sat on the Board of Trustees), is an NAACP Image Award nominee, has been named L’OREAL’s Beauty of Giving Young Woman of the Year, and was one of Harvard magazine’s Top Six Seniors. She is also a former National Coca-Cola Scholar, a Toyota Scholar, and an Ebony Magazine Scholar.

Nancy is a contributing editor at CosmoGIRL! Magazine, where she is also the Body & Soul expert. She is also an AOL Wellness Coach and self-esteem advisor to FITNESS magazine. She and her unique views have been featured on ABC’s Good Morning America, CBS’ The Early Show, NBC’s Today Show, CNN, E! True Hollywood Stories, PEOPLE magazine, NPR, PBS, Inside Edition, and more.

On June 9th, 2007 she married her college sweetheart Rupak Ginn, an actor currently starring in Disney Channel’s The Cheetah Girls: One World. They live in Los Angeles.
