Introducing Westland Impact Festival's emcee and "vibe steward" Bex Frucht! Her eclectic personal and professional journey has taken her from the red carpet to the Rocky Mountains. As Head Story Wrangler at Tumbleweed Queen Creative, Bex shares her passion for authentic storytelling by producing live community shows, teaching workshops, coaching individuals, and guiding organizations. 

A seasoned performer, Bex was a host, writer, and producer for MTV and POPSUGAR, anchoring both a daily cable show and weekly digital series. Bex first overshared onstage at The Moth Story Slams, which inspired her own wild storytelling showcase “TMI Live!” that's entertained rowdy crowds in Los Angeles, Bozeman, and Livingston for over a decade.

Bex grew up a Carolina Girl and attended UNC-Chapel Hill on the prestigious Morehead-Cain Scholarship (Go Heels!). She is now lucky to call the funky river town of Livingston home, where she moonlights as an amateur cowgirl, costume party professional, rainbow influencer, and unicorn believer. Bex is stoked to bring her unbridled enthusiasm for all things rad and regenerative to Westland!
