Samantha Ramirez-Herrera is an entrepreneur, public speaker, Emmy Award winning storyteller, creative director, and activist. While she wears many hats, at her core, Sam is a storyteller.

Storytelling is the heartbeat of her company, OffThaRecord.com (OTR), a creative content agency headquartered in Atlanta. Sam’s unorthodox path to becoming a digital media maverick is rooted in her own story of drive and determination. She grew up as an undocumented immigrant until becoming a DREAMer, thanks to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

Through her work at OTR, Sam addresses topics including feminism, economic justice, immigration, mental health and more.
