Rebecca Zamolo is an award-winning digital creator, entrepreneur, and one of the most recognizable family-driven personalities in media today. With over 18 million YouTube subscribers, 18 million TikTok followers, and 6 billion+ views, Rebecca has built a platform that blends high-energy storytelling with real-life transparency, engaging millions while breaking barriers for women in the digital space. What started as a creative outlet during her recovery from ulcerative colitis—after eight years of debilitating symptoms and multiple surgeries, including the removal of her colon—has grown into a full-scale media empire. Unable to pursue traditional entertainment roles while healing, Rebecca turned to YouTube not as a career move, but as a way to reclaim agency over her life. By 2017, she transitioned into full-time content creation, and just months later, her husband, Matt Slays, left his career to join her. Together, they built one of the most engaged family-friendly brands in digital entertainment. Beyond her immersive storytelling and challenge-driven content, Rebecca has never shied away from sharing the more intimate parts of her journey—from navigating fertility struggles and pregnancy loss to the realities of raising children in a hyper-connected world. Her candor has helped spark conversations between parents and their kids, making difficult topics more approachable and breaking stigmas around motherhood, loss, and resilience. Rebecca has just launched a fertility supplement brand Molo with her IVF nurse, Christina Westbrook, who also runs an IVF clinic in Los Angeles.
