Maddie Freeman
Maddie Freeman is a seasoned, multi-faceted entrepreneur, a changemaker, a digital well-being advocate, and a recent graduate from the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado Boulder. In 2020, Maddie founded NoSo November, a pivotal by-youth-for-youth social media detox initiative and global movement promoting teen wellbeing. Maddie’s dedication to this cause is deeply personal; her own mental health journey, intertwined with the immense suicide loss she faced, inspired her to pioneer more effective resources for schools. Her expertise in public speaking, sales, and suicide prevention has been instrumental in the success of NoSo. The thousands of students her nonprofit impacts each year are the fuel that drives her to continue growing her initiative.
