bio
Julia Midland: Julia has worked in international policy and humanitarian aid for over 15 years, evaluating the efficacy of aid programming and impact vs. intended outcome. Specializing in gender and conflict, she has worked across numerous sectors, including education, humanitarian assistance, governance, health, counter-trafficking, illicit finance, and counter-terrorism. Her work across the globe, with particular expertise in conflict and post-conflict environments such as Somalia, Afghanistan, South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, has given her an acute understanding of the problems with the typical aid model, and insight into how to make development programming more sustainable through equitable, community-centered intervention.
Julia is the founder of The OMPowerment Project, a non-profit dedicated to empowering individuals in marginalized and at-risk communities worldwide with embodiment tools for self-regulation. The OMPowerment team shares the belief that wellness should not be determined by geography, social status, ethnicity, access to finance, or privilege. OMPowerment provides week-long leadership trainings that equip trainees with the skills to create safer space in their communities, free of labels and judgement, in which men and women can begin to relieve anxiety and build confidence and self-esteem.
