Sasha R. Simmons is The Witavator™ — a sharp, soul-first speaker and Customer Marketing leader at Axon, where she highlights the power of public safety technology through storytelling. She is also the founder of Witavation™, a movement where humor heals and truth transforms.

Her life is proof of resilience in action. By 18, Sasha broke free from a religious cult and earned over $1 million in university scholarships, shattering societal and familial expectations of what was possible. Since then, she’s built a career amplifying voices, disrupting outdated narratives, and showing others how to live life on their own terms.

Sasha holds a Master of Public Health from the University of North Florida and is the author of 20 Major Keys to Establish Your Own Greatness. Her insights have been featured by Chase Bank for Business, Blavity, and iHeart Radio’s Go Courageously. She’s spoken to thousands, partnered with national brands, and shared stages with world-class leaders, but what makes her unforgettable is her ability to make audiences laugh, cry, and change in the span of a single talk.

Recognized as one of Phoenix Business Journal’s 40 Under 40, Sasha also serves as a Brand Ambassador to the University of North Florida and is a recipient of the 2021 UNF Alumni Achievement Award.

Her mission is clear: empower, elevate, and embolden people to laugh, heal, and lead without shrinking.

WIT Happens — and when it does, Sasha makes sure it transforms you.
