JULES RIGSBY | Director of Communication
Jules was raised in Nigeria, West Africa as a missionary kid along with her older brother, Ben. When they weren’t running from green mambas or lizards, they would tag along with their parents on long river trips to remote villages. Jules attended the University of the Nations in Kona, HI, and traveled to Thailand to teach English.
In 2004, Jules married her now husband, Kenny, and two years later founded a non-profit organization—For The Silent—that fights child sexual exploitation and trafficking. Jules developed innovative survivor care and outreach programs for vulnerable youth in the juvenile justice system, foster care, and middle schools. She testified in multiple human trafficking cases—federal and state—that led to life sentences for the traffickers.
Kenny and Jules adopted their first sweet child, a girl, in 2015. They maintain a healthy open adoption with her birth mom while actively mentoring others who feel led to similar open adoptions. In 2019, at 36, Jules had her second child, a boy, who was a complete miracle and surprise.
Jules now works in Communications and Marketing and loves promoting people, their companies, and their visions in creative and soul-felt ways. In her spare time, Jules typically loves working out, hiking or dancing with her kids, hosting dinners and book clubs for friends, and having deep thought-provoking convos with her husband.
