About Rebekah D. Mason

I write, perform, and create radical art that uplifts stories and invites meaningful reflection and collective liberation. I am committed to systemic change and community. I believe that Black Lives Matter, and that equitable access to healthcare, housing, dignity, and liberation are worthy and necessary goals we should all work toward. I continue unlearning and revealing the lies of white supremacy, fatphobia, ableism, and diet culture.

Creative Influences

I draw inspiration from The Tectonic Theater Project, Teatro Campesino, Theatre of the Oppressed, The Group Theatre, and other artists like Jessica Blank, Erik Jensen, Mary Kathryn Nagle, Octavio Solis, Brian Quijada, and Nygel D. Robinson.

Education

Bachelor of Arts, Sociology and Theatre, University of Houston

J.D., Thomas M. Cooley Law School

Storyteller &
Performer

I am a passionate artist, performer and playwright. I believe community storytelling is the path toward joyful resistance and liberation. I believe theater can serve communities and fuel transformation.

I founded Justice Through Joy as a labor of love to uplift the stories of women of color and gender queer people of color engaging in the broken U.S. legal system.

Legal Advocate

As an AARP Government Affairs Director I advance reform for affordable, quality long-term care. I have fought for justice alongside low-income communities, veterans, older adults.

I've launched two legal veteran advocacy projects: one in Texas and another in Washington, D.C.

Cycle Breaker

I'm a proud Mexican American from Texas City, Texas. I live in Baltimore, Maryland with my loving partner, our three cats and two dogs. We share a joyful, love-filled, and wonderfully chaotic home.

I was raised Catholic and fully embraced my queer identity at 41. My journey includes healing from trauma and liberation from systems of oppression. I am an endometrial cancer survivor and recovering from binge eating disorder.
