Rebeca Huffman Coaching

Having been the first in her family to graduate college, Rebeca Nieves Huffman has been a long time national and local leader for educational equity and access. She is the founder of her consulting practice, RNH Coaching, and currently working with clients who want insights, strategies, and supports in marketing, fundraising, and board development. Up until August 2019, Rebeca served as the Executive Director of City Year Chicago, an education organization that recruits, mobilizes, and empowers recent college graduates as full time Student Success Coaches for over 15,000 at-risk Chicago Public School students. In the summer of 2020 when the pandemic was in full swing, Rebeca began to share content on social media focused on her family’s cultural recipes, first gen advice/coaching, and her favorite brands with a focus on companies that are owned by women and people of color. Her efforts on social media have led to TV appearances like the Rachael Ray Show and brand deals with major brands like Target, Marshalls, and Church & Dwight to name a few. If you ask Rebeca what she was put on this earth to do, her response will be “to empower my people to live a life of options.” Rebeca proudly lives on the south side of Chicago with her husband and two teenagers.
