Why Your Voice Matters | Allicia Viona | TEDxYouth@SWA
In a world filled with endless noise and expectations, self-doubt often makes us lose touch with who we are. But why does this happen? According to Viona, it’s not because the world talks too much—it’s because we’ve stopped listening to our own voice. Through her personal story, she reminds us that our lives are ours to shape. Like engineers who don’t blindly follow blueprints, doctors who adapt to every patient, or leaders who challenge the status quo, growth begins when we listen to our inner voice. Allicia Viona is an Apple Teacher with four years of experience in technology mentoring. Aside from her passion for technology, she also aims to create a generation of learners who are passionate and confident in their own abilities.
