What if silence was never the absence of a voice?
In her TEDxPasha Street Countdown talk, Arij Hamdouni takes us to Borj Salhi, a remarkable village in Tunisia where a Deaf community has built its own language, traditions, and sense of belonging. Through her own journey as the first Deaf YouTuber in Tunisia and the Arab world, she challenges the way we think about disability, inclusion, and who gets to be heard in conversations about the future.
This is a story about identity, resilience, and the communities we often overlook—reminding us that a just transition means listening to every voice, including those expressed through hands, silence, and lived experience.
Arij Hamdouni's TEDx Talk is now live.
