Boston Branch: Helene Hamady

I’m a Lebanese-American Druze from Lebanon. I am an aspiring Photojournalist—in particular, I love Documentary Journalism. I love exploring languages and cultures (I speak French and Arabic), playing the violin and piano and sculpting, painting and working with glass and metal. I’ve lived in America on the East Coast, in Europe, and in Lebanon. I used to act a lot in operas and musicals when I was younger so I have a special love for them. I was Waldorf Educated but I don’t recall any German. I also love soccer and yoga, and I was once a vegan for four years but now I love meat.

I’m moving back to Beirut in May to hopefully work on somehow better facilitating the connection between people and information; its free-flow and organization thereof, in Lebanon and the Middle East!
