Link to The Adoptee Diaries: Bethany Fraser (she/her) is a seasoned Advocate, Author, Founder, Marketer, and Speaker with over two decades of professional expertise in diverse corporate marketing and sales roles. With a leap of faith, she transformed her talents, passions, and commitment to community into the thriving enterprise known as Twenty 1 Media Group (21MG), a certified minority-owned, women-owned marketing agency dedicated to supporting small and medium-sized organizations.

In addition to her client-focused endeavors, Bethany channels her energy into purposeful passion projects. In 2022, she launched Otito, an online jewelry and home decor boutique that originated from a hobby nurtured over two decades. The brand name, Otito, meaning "truth" in Yoruba, pays homage to Bethany’s western African roots – a profound connection uncovered only after decades of searching, as she navigated her journey as an adoptee.

Bethany's lived experiences fuel her role as a prominent advocate and counselor within the adoption/foster constellation and for families affected by incarceration. Her advocacy led to a pivotal change in policy regarding the predatory private prison phone industry, ensuring families with incarcerated loved ones stay connected.

Recognized as a sought-after thought leader, Bethany shares insights on Ancestry & Adoption, The Search for Identity & Belonging, Being Mixed in America, Finding Family & Forgiveness, and The Adoption Experience. She is a contributing author at The Inclusion Solution, where she recently penned an insightful essay about her adoption journey and the quest for belonging and identity.
