Use Your Words With Love: Emma Colyer at TEDxHolborn

Emma Colyer MBE is the founder of Body & Soul, a charity that provides love and hope to thousands of people of all ages in the UK who are living with the impact of HIV. After more than two decades, Emma has been witness to the damage done by the stigma that still surrounds HIV. At a time when treatment continues to improve, words of hatred are still killing people. With Emma's own experience of life, significant work in empathy, and personal passion to help people, she helps to truly understand the psychological hurt but also the enormous potential that words have to heal and transform lives.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
