Welcome, I'm Rebekah D. Mason Barrera

I create spaces where justice and joy meet. I'm a Mexican American playwright, legal advocate, and the founder of Justice Through Joy-- a project centering women of color and gender-queer people of color engaging in and around the U.S. legal system.
My work spans advocacy, theater, policy, storytelling, and community healing. I build equity-centered systems focused on uplifting people and communities through creative advocacy approaches grounded in narrative strategy and lived experiences.

We made history at the 1st Latino AI Summit January 2026. Alongside Jessica Sorely, our session Cosmic Justice: AI + Soul for Community Healing, I explored how AI can become a vehicle for healing and collective joy when guided by culturally rooted wisdom.
I introduced Justice Through Joy and demonstrated how Latine creators can build AI that reflects identity, protects humanity, and supports healing rather than harm.

I was honored to be nominated by the phenomenal Ruby Garcia for the 2025 Extraordinary Latina Awards Empowering Latina for my leadership in Justice Through Joy.
