Eden Debebe

Eden Debebe is a journalist, communications specialist, and keynote speaker who explores the power of compelling storytelling and uplifting marginalized voices. Eden spent six years in Toronto’s fast-moving newsrooms, where she worked both on-air and behind the scenes at CP24, 680 News, CityNews, and OMNI News. Navigating high-pressure environments taught her how to find clarity in chaos, adapt quickly, and rely on fellow team members — lessons that now shape the leadership stories she shares on stage. Beyond the newsroom, Eden helps organizations meaningfully tell their stories by leading interactive workshops and keynote speeches on impactful media engagement and authentic storytelling. Today, she works in Government Relations and Public Affairs with the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association, a union that centres the lived experiences of teachers across the province and advocates for publicly funded education.
