BETINA GENOVESI & CLARA WOODS
Mother–Daughter Keynote Speakers | Inclusion, Resilience & Human Potential
Betina Genovesi and Clara Woods are a world-renowned mother–daughter duo delivering one of the most unforgettable keynotes on inclusion, resilience, and what’s possible when belief becomes action.
Together, they share a story that is deeply moving, wildly inspiring, and powerfully practical — reminding audiences that inclusion isn’t a slogan… it’s a decision. A way of leading. A way of seeing people.
Clara’s story is extraordinary. After experiencing a prenatal stroke that left her unable to read, write, or speak, she found her voice through art. Today, Clara is an internationally exhibited painter, entrepreneur, and inclusion advocate who has sold 900+ original artworks worldwide — building a global audience through creativity, courage, and authenticity.
At the heart of this story is Betina Genovesi Clara’s mother, strategist, and driving force. Betina has spent years opening doors, creating opportunities, and building a platform that has become a movement. Her leadership, advocacy, and unwavering belief have shaped not only Clara’s career, but also a worldwide community of people inspired to reimagine ability, leadership, and potential.
With a combined following of 1.8M+ people across social media, Betina and Clara bring a rare kind of impact — the kind that stays with an audience long after the applause ends.
Clara has also been selected as an official artist for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics / Paralympics Art Posters project, with her Paralympic artwork titled “You Love.”
