Transform refugee crisis awareness with Jaz O'Hara, speaker, humanitarian activist and UN advocate. Jaz works with organisations to drive social impact and storytelling through her Worldwide Tribe platform, delivering powerful insights as a recognised TedX speaker and global changemaker.
Jaz O'Hara is a United Nations and TedX speaker who rose to fame by founding The Worldwide Tribe, an organisation and online community that raises awareness about the refugee crisis and supports those caught up in it.
The Worldwide Tribe began after a Facebook post that Jaz wrote about her first trip to the Calais Jungle in 2015, which went viral. Since then, Jaz has worked tirelessly in camps across Europe and the Middle East to tell the stories that otherwise go unheard.
The Worldwide Tribe has run many projects on the ground, from installing wifi in camps in France and Greece, to organising a football tournament in Dunkirk, funding a fire truck in Calais to supporting a search and rescue in the Med.
Jaz is dedicated to challenging the fear-based narrative of much of today's media and society and does so through film, talks and most recently The Worldwide Tribe's extremely popular podcast.
If you are looking for ways that you and your company can make a difference to the world, then it's time to jam with Jaz.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
