Born in Scotland and raised in Canada,
David’s work is forged in lived resilience.
After a decade in ordained ministry, he served on the front lines as a First Responder and Mental Health Specialist with the Canadian Mental Health Association and Toronto’s Community Crisis Service, where crisis intervention was rooted in empathy, dignity, and human relationship — never mere enforcement.
David Ian Giffen is the award-winning author of a raw, unflinching memoir confronting stigma and laying bare the human cost of silence.
As a speaker, he does not perform or posture. He tells the truth, provokes honest conversation, calls people to courage, and demands accountability.

Why Choose This Package
Because some stories, brands, and missions need more than a freelancer or a single package. This is for clients who want a serious media partner with voice, range, and staying power.
At Authentic Ginger Media,
all of this converges.
Through storytelling, brand coaching, and media strategy, AGM helps bold voices find their platform, defend their individuality, and confront bullying, racism, and institutional silence.
This is not branding for attention.
It is media with a spine.
Support That Meets
the Moment
