Vision & Voice | Jana Amin | TEDxBeaverCountryDaySchool

Youth activism and innovation are at all-time highs. Young women are leading these efforts. They have stories to tell, expertise to share, voices that need to be heard. But they are not connected to the platforms they deserve. In her talk, seventeen-year-old Egyptian-American Jana shares her experience as a young woman mobilizing for change. Her goal? Ensure young women are actively contributing their voices to the spaces we need them most. Jana is an Egyptian-American High School senior and a rising freshman at Harvard. An advocate and community mobilizer for girls’ education and women in Islam, Jana has given a TEDx-Youth talk on Muslim women and spoken at the UN on policies to further youth inclusion and gender parity. She works closely with The Collateral Repair Project, an NGO based in Jordan to support refugee women and girls. For her 17th birthday, she hosted a virtual event, #17for17: Advocating for Girls' Education. Recently, Jana was recognized as one of Arab-America’s 20 Under 20 and one of The Conversationalist’s awardees in Education. Jana also curated an exhibit at the American University in Cairo. She is currently interning at the Harvard Kennedy School and has previously interned with UN High-Level Commissioner Dr. Alaa Murabit and NaTakallam. Jana’s mission? Uncover what she knows each girl possesses: a vision and a voice. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
