Majd Mashharawi is one of the fiercest, most relentless women you’ll ever meet. Having grown up in war-torn Gaza, Majd came up with an incredible idea: to rebuild damaged buildings using bricks made of ash and rubble. 

Her second startup SunBox, an affordable solar power system that produces energy to alleviate the effects of the energy crisis in Gaza, where electricity is only available three hours a day. 
In 2018 she was selected as one of the most creative people in business by Fast Company and  Her TED Talk, has received 1.3 Million views  so far. 

In an inspiring conversation, Majd shares the odysseys she went through, in her attempt to build a business in the world’s largest open-air prison. Gear up to get inspired beyond belief.
