South Dakota woman featured on reality TV series

When it comes to reaching her dreams, you could say Krista Rabenberg is a head above the rest.

If you would have told this small-town girl from Mobridge, S.D. that someday she would be on a national television show, she may not have believed you. Fast forward to present day, and Krista is one of the featured reality TV stars on the TLC Show “My Giant Life.”

After producers saw a tweet by Krista a few years ago, they asked her to audition. It was her sparkling personality and height of 6 feet 6 inches that won them over. The show features the lives of extraordinarily tall women.
For Krista, her life of being the tallest in class began in preschool, when she was a head taller than the rest of her classmates.

It was in middle school that the bullying began, when a lot of her clothes didn’t fit quite right. She realized that being a tall girl wasn’t so acceptable.

Krista then went on to play high school, college, and professional basketball, even playing overseas. The game originally gave her extreme height a purpose. But she later decided that playing basketball was not all she could offer the world.

She got a master’s degree and became a counselor. Now, she’s making the transition into motivational speaking and even stand-up comedy. She says life is all about accepting yourself and perspective.

Turning what was originally a negative into a positive, Krista says the comedy of what people say to her on a day-to-day basis is funny in itself. Her coping mechanism has always been laughter.

Krista considers herself a role model for people of all ages, types, and differences. She is featured on season 3 of “My Giant Life” and plans to be featured on upcoming seasons as well. You can catch the show Sunday nights on TLC.
