Becky's Story
Becky Duncan is a bestselling author and motivational entrepreneur. She has been featured on prime time tv: A Current Affair (Australia), Campbell Live (NZ), That’s Life! (magazine), Stuff.co.nz, NZ Herald, NewstalkZB, RadioLive and Radio New Zealand, amongst other pint media.
Becky has over a decade of experience in digital marketing, communications, and web development, across corporate, government, not-for-profit, start-up, and SME business markets. Until she recently sold up, she was founder and owner of the largest Kids Slumber and Picnic Party Styling Franchise in the Southern Hemisphere with over 10 franchisees in Australia & New Zealand
Growing up a mixed-race adoptee in a white family, Becky battled insecurities, lacked a sense of belonging and felt like she didn’t have a voice.
In 2013, after a business deal gone bad, she survived a very public and vicious cyber attack that started with 1 man and turned into 100s of men online.
Though she doesn’t have the black eyes the broken bones or the bloody gashes to show for it, the incidence affected her at every level, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
Now after 7 years in hiding she’s back, armed and fuelled by the compelling belief that safety is a fundamental human right and shouldn’t be a luxury for women online.

In the media...
At 11 years old Becky had a dream to write a book. 22 years later, her novel, The Lighter Side of Large, hit #5 on Amazon’s Top 100 Bestsellers (#3 in the Humour category). Based on real-life events, this “Reality Fiction” story about obesity, body image, and finding real love struck a chord with readers across the globe. Finally, there was a heroine like them . . . written by someone like them.
Soon after a Big Six publisher offered Becky a publishing contract, which she turned down. That’s right, folks: SHE TURNED DOWN a book contract because she was already doing more to market her novel and its sequel to more countries and segments than they planned to.
She learned by trial & error how to publish & promote her book and inspire an international fan base.
Over the years since she has primarily used her creative storytelling mastery to found, build, and sell a number of 6 figure businesses in different industries. She refers to herself as the ‘quintessential entrepreneur’ and thrives on new ideas, projects and opportunities to excel and make an impact. Her biggest and most extravagant dream is to be the next Oprah and have her own online TV show.
