About Ama
Ama Delevett was an alum, practitioner, and dear friend of Radical Transformational Leadership (RTL) from 2014 to 2020, when she passed away from a quick and aggressive cancer. The sudden loss of this joyful soul has stunned our community, however Ama said it best: “I am at peace because I believe I will be bliss, joy, love and freedom in the next dimension. May I be right ;).”
​
We believe she was right.
Ama served the Santa Cruz County community for more than a decade as the Survivors Healing Center Program Director and fierce advocate to end childhood sexual abuse. A beloved therapist, she held space for over 500 survivors to heal. As a longtime practitioner of the Radical Transformational Leadership framework, she applied tools and templates to shift societal conversations from ignoring child abuse to speaking truth to power. She also put in place strategies to foster well-being alongside healing past traumas, such as leading the annual Caring for Kids event.
​
Ama stood courageously for love and joy and invited everyone who knew her to embrace their own authenticity and commitment to take action on what they deeply care about. The Caring for Kids Scholarship Program is one way we continue to honor Ama’s call for love and action.
