Meet the 2025 Speakers!
Ramona Treviño
Ramona Treviño worked as the manager of a Planned Parenthood abortion referral facility in Sherman, Texas, until 2011, when God used the prayers and public witness of a 40 Days for Life campaign to move her to leave her job and reclaim her walk with Christ. Ramona’s resignation from Planned Parenthood resulted in her former center going out of business. Ramona has shared the miracle of her conversion and the goodness of Christ’s mercy throughout the U.S. and internationally through speaking engagements as well as print, broadcast, and online media.
Ramona is a wife, mother, and grandmother. She is the author of Redeemed by Grace: A Catholic Woman’s Journey to Planned Parenthood and Back.
