Hebh Jamal is a Palestinian Muslim American activist whose primary activism involves tackling school segregation. In an attempt to explain her political identity, and “why she is,” Hebh Jamal ties in her experience with islamophobia to a greater pursuit of becoming an activist - what she defines as delusional creativity. Delusional in the sense of envisioning a future alternative to the one we currently live. The most delusional were, as Hebh explains, the most creative.
At the young age of fifteen Hebh Jamal became a widely-regarded advocate for education reform; she known for her impact toward tackling injustice and her vision for the possibility of a transformed society. Hebh was featured in the NY Times in “Young Muslim Americans Are Feeling the Strain of Suspicion” for her perspective on the impact of Islamophobia on young Muslims. She made a huge buzz in 2017, when she organized a city-wide student walk out to protest Trump’s “Muslim Ban.” Since then, she co-created the first ever City-Wide Youth Council on School Integration run by IntegrateNYC. Currently, she’s the VP of her college’s Students for Justice in Palestine and the Youth Director of Muslim American Society of NY. 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
