What Your Voice Wants You to Hear

TEDxWomen Lausanne
SwissTech Convention Center, Lausanne, Switzerland • November 2025

Ilhem speaking at TEDxWomen Lausanne

A talk exploring the human voice as a bridge between body, emotion, identity, and as an expression of our humanity itself.

Drawing from her own experience, vocal traditions across cultures, and insights from neuroscience and anthropology, Ilhem looks at what shapes our relationship with the voice, showing how we shape, suppress and adapt it as we navigate the world around us.

The talk considers how listening to the voice, rather than performing it, can reconnect us to ourselves and to each other.
