Fighting homelessness, my way: Jamal Mechbal at TEDxDelft

You think you have it all -- graduated from three different universities, a good job and a great marriage -- and then it all falls apart. Your marriage ends, you lose your job and you become homeless. It happened to Jamal Mechbal and it can happen to all of us according to him.

It does not matter how you end up in this situation, what matters is how you deal with it. At TEDxDelft, Jamal speaks about his fascinating and inspiring story of being homeless and recovering from it.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
