A Reason For Being & The Judgement For Reason | Tania Safi | TEDxHarkerSchool

Tania shares how her cultural background prompted her foray into videography and use of media as a tool for activism. In her talk, she describes what inspired her to create her documentary series Shway Shway (meaning “slowly” or “ little by little” in Arabic), which features fearless women, NGOs, and change-makers across Lebanon who are helping better the world. Through her experiences, Tania explores the potential obstacles preventing us from pursuing purposeful work. Tania Safi is an Arabic-Australian video journalist and rights activist. Her family has Palestinian, Syrian, Egyptian, and Lebanese roots, prompting her to move to Tripoli at the age of 19. While she was there, a civil war broke out. Under curfew, Tania drew in order to catalogue the traumatic events that followed and turned those drawings into an animation, ‘Trab Laus’. The film won first place at the United Nations Plural+ Film Festival and was the catalyst behind her career as a visual storyteller. Tania has since worked as a producer for The Chaser, The Roast (ABC), BuzzFeed, SBS and Happy Media. Tania moved back to Lebanon in 2019 and founded a self-funded documentary series called Shway Shway (meaning “ little by little” in Arabic), which featured fearless women, NGOs, and change-makers across Lebanon who are helping better the world. Her passion for education and entertainment through accessible and innovative video has been a great gift to our community and the world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
