Guest Bio:
Madison White has worn many hats throughout her life. While the titles of actress, waitress, daughter, mother, and friend all came as no surprise, the one thing Madison never imagined she would add to her list was “author.”

Following her move from her home in Long Island, she spent some time in LA pursuing her acting career. Towards the end of that journey is when her search for human connection truly started. She left LA with her then rockstar boyfriend, now (still rockstar) husband on a cross country tour. 18,000 miles and a dozen states later, she had unknowingly sparked the beginning of her passion project. Madison left 50 journals all handwritten and filled with her life story and signed with her name, address and phone number on the inside front cover for contact. It didn’t take long for almost all 30 out of the 50 finders to reach out to her. In noticing the insane connections that people had with her story, she noticed that this project was bigger than just her and other people needed to have the chance to experience this same feeling. In that moment, “If Found Please Read” was born. 10 years later she’s reviving the project with 1000 journals and you can finally be a part of it too!
