Amy Oestreichers werk duikt in de kracht van menselijke veerkracht, voortkomend uit haar ervaringen met het overwinnen van trauma's. Haar geschriften onderzoeken hoe onschatbare geschenken kunnen worden verkregen uit de 'mooie omwegen' van het leven en tegenspoed. Door middel van toneelstukken, musicals en kunst onderzoekt ze thema's als heling, persoonlijke groei en maatschappelijke verandering. Oestreicher bevordert inclusiviteit, geeft gemarginaliseerde stemmen een platform en promoot de kunsten als een essentieel instrument voor zelfexpressie en gemeenschapsvorming.
