Breaking the Silence One Book at a Time. | Deema Al Alami | TEDxLAU Women

I lost my voice at nine. Decades later, I used it to write books that protect children and preserve truth. Deema has been working in the field of education for over 16 years and has an MA in Education from King's College London and a BA in Elementary Education from the American University of Beirut. She started her career as a classroom teacher in Languages, Art, and Science and has also spent significant time in leadership positions working on national and regional education-related capacity-building programs in both the private and public sectors. She has led some of the largest Education Reform projects in the MENA region for renowned agencies including the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Ministries of Education across the Arab region. Prior to dedicating her time to spread the love of reading, she was a Vice President at GEMS Education for over seven years. 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
