For more information on Jana Boulus, please visit our website www.tedxhamburg.de.  Jana has worked alongside the founders of Humanity Crew to strengthen its grassroots initiative which focuses on providing mental health support to people in crisis. Jana is proud to manage the programming for an organization which was founded by Palestinians of `48 and which in itself embodies the self-help mentality that is often lacking in the Middle East where conflict and frustration have left many people stranded and unable to devise a strategy that can promise a better future. 

Alongside her work at Humanity Crew, Jana practices photography and has received national awards and exhibited internationally. She finds photography to be her only means of expressing the myriad of feelings and conflicting forces that shape her life as a Palestinian Christian who grew up behind a check-point in East Jerusalem. 

Previously, Jana was a fellow at The International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation and Political Violence at King’s College London. She has worked to support the protection of human rights and to better her community through a variety of initiatives and organizations, most notably Human Rights Watch and Adalah. Jana is driven to continue working on the empowerment of her community, and the advancement of Palestinian aspirations for justice, self determination, and freedom. 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
