But behind the achievements is a story few people know.

In his deeply personal talk, “The Boy Without a Voice: How Your Voice Can Define Your Life,” Dr Ahmed takes us back to a young boy who struggled to make himself heard — and reveals the remarkable journey that followed.

It is a story of identity, courage, transformation and purpose, and a reminder that sometimes the very thing we struggle with most can become the foundation for who we are meant to become.

“Our voice is more than the words we speak; it is the bridge between who we are and the purpose we choose to live.”

Join us at TEDxWibsey 2026 to hear a powerful story about finding your voice — and discovering where it can lead you.
