Dr Jaz Ampaw-Farr is a force of nature — an internationally acclaimed keynote speaker, bestselling author, and the subject of the award-winning documentary Re-Story Your Life, which won Programmers’ Award at the Diversity in Cannes Film Festival and Best Documentary Short at The Miami Women In Film Festival
Her life began in foster care, marked by poverty, abuse, and life on the streets. Today, she is recognised as one of the UK’s most sought-after voices on resilience, education, and human connection — showing audiences worldwide how to rewrite their stories and transform adversity into fuel for success.
A three-time Speaker of the Year and inductee into the Professional Speakers Hall of Fame, Jaz has delivered more than 3,000 keynotes for clients including Microsoft, PwC, LEGO, Google, and the NHS. She has been awarded two honorary doctorates recognising her impact on education, resilience and leadership, and has co-authored three academic papers that have shaped literacy policy at national and international levels.
Jaz is the author of Because of You, This Is Me, a raw and hope-soaked memoir that pays tribute to the everyday heroes — her teachers — who saved her life. Her record-breaking TEDx talk, The Power of Everyday Heroes, has been watched worldwide, and her trademark challenge to be “10% Braver” has become a rallying cry for leaders, educators, and changemakers everywhere.
Her career spans classrooms to boardrooms, from fronting BBC programmes to performing stand-up comedy at the Edinburgh Festival. Across every stage, she combines lived experience, expert insight, and infectious humour — moving audiences from tears to belly laughs in seconds.
Her message is clear: resilience isn’t about bouncing back — it’s about rewriting your life story. And Jaz shows us how.
