Unmuted Voices

Meet Your Host

Hi, I'm Aïcha - a speaker, communication coach, market research executive, and author of the upcoming book Unmuted Voices: How We Hear Accents - And Learn To Judge Differently. I help people reconnect with their authentic voice and express themselves with clarity and confidence. This podcast was born from years of learning how to use my voice more boldly and coaching individuals back to their voices, one conversation at a time.

“Whether you’ve struggled with public speaking, felt overlooked in meetings, or questioned how you’re heard because of how you speak, this show is for anyone ready to unlearn silence and own their voice — on their terms.

Silence has a cost. Stop second-guessing how you speak — and start communicating with clarity, confidence, and presence.”

What This Is (and What It’s Not)

This isn’t just a podcast — it’s a community. A place for those of us who’ve ever held our voices back — or felt like the world did it for us — to find a different way forward.

This is real psychology, real neuroscience, and real tools you can use — not someday — but today — from real people still perfecting their craft.

Why It Matters?

Silence often feels safe, but in leadership and in life, it comes at a cost — missed truths, stifled growth, and unrealized change. True leadership begins not with perfection, but with the courage to speak, to question, to rise. Your voice was never broken; it was simply waiting — for the right moment, the right reason, the right you. This podcast series is a space where silence ends and empowerment begins — reminding every listener that their voice matters, their story inspires, and their truth has the power to move others.
