MY STORY
From my childhood, I knew that the universe had plans for my voice as I sang in my mother's living room with a wooden spoon as a microphone, backed up by the neighborhood kids. Over the years, I honed my ability to hear the emotions behind a voice, whether it's sadness, depression, or a lack of energy. Sometimes, during intensive breathing sessions, the voice opens up, confessing its needs and desires to me. It's disheartening to see how many people, especially Gen Z and millennials, dislike the sound of their own voices, often feeling self-conscious during Zoom calls or when leaving voicemails. Our society's influences and personal insecurities contribute to this phenomenon, but it's important to remember that every voice is unique and beautiful. Instead of seeking external validation, let's focus on self-acceptance and appreciate the authenticity and individuality our voices bring to the world.
