Keynote Speaker Bio

Malala Yousafzai began her activism at age 11, anonymously blogging about life under the Taliban in Pakistan’s Swat Valley, particularly the ban on girls’ education. As her voice grew, she spoke publicly, gave interviews, and quickly became an international advocate for girls’ rights.

At age 15, Malala survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban in retaliation for her advocacy. After months of treatment and rehabilitation in the United Kingdom, she co-founded Malala Fund to continue her mission to ensure all girls have access to education.

One year later, she became the youngest-ever recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of her work for equality and education. Malala graduated from Oxford University in 2020 with a degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics.

She is a best-selling author of three books and the president of Extracurricular Productions.
