Founder and Director of the Rebelle Rally
Emily Miller is the visionary behind the Rebelle Rally, the longest competitive off-road rally in the United States. Established in 2016, the Rebelle Rally is the first women's off-road navigation rally in the country, emphasizing skill over speed, with no GPS, cell phones, or external assistance allowed.
Emily’s automotive journey began under the mentorship of off-road legend Rod Hall, leading to a successful racing resume with multiple podium finishes and victories as a team driver - from the U.S., Baja to Morocco. With a love of endurance sports, she was the first woman to solo drive the longest off-road race in America, Vegas to Reno, securing podium in Stock Class and repeating the effort in the 1000-mile, three-day edition in 2009, winning Stock Mini. She has competed multiple times in Morocco securing podium at the Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles and the seven-day Carta Rallye, winning the GPS Cup in 2019.
Beyond racing, Emily is the President of Soulside Network, a PR and Sports Marketing firm. She has managed major sporting events and communications programs for clients including Showtime Boxing, ESPN, Red Bull, Tony Hawk Foundation and King of the Hammers - navigating complex logistical and strategic challenges with her ‘never give up’ attitude.
Emily’s contributions extend to organizing driving events and coaching over 8,000 individuals in off-road driving and recently supported the first women’s motorsport event in Saudi Arabia after women received the legal right to drive. Awards include the "Spirit of Leadership" award from the Women's Automotive Alliance International, and in 2023, she was honored with the SEMA Future Leaders Network (FLN) Vanguard award and the SEMA TORA Jessi Combs Award as Ambassador of the Year.
Emily continues to be a trailblazer, inspiring countless women in the automotive industry - encouraging them to believe in themselves, strive for excellence and pass it on.
