Katherine Haber turned a long career in film and television production into a platform for community outreach. She has spearheaded the BAFTA LA Innercity Screening Programme, a gang-prevention effort that brings films and filmmakers to LA’s most underprivileged areas; served as executive director of the Dome Village Transitional Housing Community for the homeless; and co-founded the Compton Cricket Club, the only all American-born exhibition cricket team for homeless and inner city youth. With the support of HRH Prince Edward, the team toured England in 1997, 1999, and 2001, and Australia in 2011. The program has become instrumental in helping young men develop into stalwart community members and advocates of gang prevention.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

Cricket truly is the greatest game on earth. Not just that it is athletic, exciting, even breath taking but most importantly it creates character.

I had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know Katy - a little - through our work with Inner-City Shakespeare Ensemble. She is a woman of boundless energy and a huge generous heart. Her work is important and inspiring. What a great spirit she has! And what a great and interesting life she's led. How wonderful she has chosen to share and uplift others through her knowledge and expertise.

Katy Haber is brilliant and a class act. She has donated thousands upon thousands of hours to work with the homeless and less fortunate. Kudos to Katy, and to Mr. Ted Hayes for all they have done for so many downtrodden...you all give hope to many.
