Alyssa Rosenheck is a bestselling author, advocate, and one of Architectural Digest’s Top 50 Interior and Architectural Photographers in the United States. Her debut book, The New Southern Style (Abrams), reframed creativity as a vehicle for resilience, courage, and connection – revealing how art has the power to humanize our differences and remind us of our shared humanity. In her forthcoming title, White. Blonde. Jew. – a call to end extremism, speak up, and reclaim center – she took the words used against her and made them her newest title. Coming August 2026 (BenBella, dist. Simon & Schuster).

She was honored with the 2025 Hero Against Hate award by the ADL and is a founding member of Artists Against Antisemitism.

Her grassroots impact is wide-ranging: she has mobilized communities alongside state legislators, played a key role in stopping two BDS resolutions at the city council level, and is actively engaged with the Tennessee-Israel Caucus. She regularly publishes op-eds challenging BDS, anti-American, and antisemitic ideologies, and speaks on college campuses to educate and equip the next generation to stand for truth and defend democratic values. Alyssa’s work is a testament to the belief that creativity is not just a personal pursuit – it is a collective responsibility for truth-tellers, a tool for moral courage, and a force for building stronger bridges.
