Laura Bratton

Laura Bratton is a keynote speaker, author, coach, and founder of Ubi Global who helps individuals and organizations navigate adversity with grit and gratitude. Born and raised in South Carolina, she was diagnosed with an eye disease at age nine and spent the following decade transitioning to life without sight. Her experience shaped a practical, honest approach to resilience that acknowledges grief, fear, and frustration rather than covering them with forced positivity. Laura earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Arizona State University and a Master of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary in 2010, where she became its first blind graduate. Her professional background includes hospital chaplaincy, pastoral ministry, and helping others find strength through difficult changes.
