Living Beyond Silence | Hussain Alawi AlShbrka | TEDxACHS
In this heartfelt video, Hussain opens up about his life growing up deaf and living with a disability. He shares the challenges he’s faced, the strength he’s gained, and the important role he now plays in his community. It’s a powerful reminder that our differences don’t define us—they empower us. Hussain is a person who believes in the power of connection and equality. He has faced many challenges in life, but instead of giving up, he has used them to build a better world. His goal has always been to create spaces where people from all walks of life can communicate, share experiences, and be part of society without barriers. Hussain's vision goes beyond business or personal success—he is passionate about empowering others and creating opportunities for everyone to thrive. In 2024, he opened a restaurant run by deaf Saudi youth, offering a space for people to connect and learn from each other. For Hussain, it’s not just about food, it’s about breaking down social barriers, celebrating diversity, and working toward a more inclusive world where everyone can excel, regardless of their background or circumstances.
