In this insightful TED Talk, Amaira Porwal explores the profound impact of silence, revealing it as a powerful form of resistance and wisdom, rather than merely the absence of sound. Drawing on personal experiences and historical examples, such as Mahatma Gandhi’s protests, she introduces the concept of the “Riot of Silence”—a quiet yet potent force that demands respect, fosters unity, and challenges injustice without words. Amaira invites us to rethink silence as an active, brave choice that can create meaningful change and healing in a noisy world. I am a bright and determined 10-year-old who loves to dive into everything with passion and purpose. Whether I’m expressing myself through art and painting, competing in district-level badminton matches, or exploring new flavours as a junior foodie, I’m always excited to learn, grow, and create. I dream of becoming a successful entrepreneur, not just to build something of my own, but to give back to society, support communities, and fight climate change through sustainable ideas. I also love public speaking and find great joy in motivating others, young and old, to take action and work together for a better, kinder world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
