Mariska Wessel is a voice coach and singer and of course passionate about music. With her broad interest in the way we humans communicate she uses the universal language of music to make a connection between people and the world around us. Her speciality as a voice coach is to tap into her clients true vocal potential so they get heard, understood and get their message across with maximum impact.
But some messages seem to be more difficult to get across. For example the message to eat less meat. In the last few decades our meat consumption has doubled. Our grandparents ate meat as an exclusivity, as a treat. Our parents ate meat at a more frequent rate. But nowadays meat is everywhere, meat is part of a daily menu and we consume it at-historic rates. This has devastating effects on our climate, the environment, food security, our health and last but not least on the lives of billions of factory farmed animals. It seems that we tend to forget that behind every bite of meat, is the life of an animal. And what if we would care to listen to their voice. In her TEDxArnhem talk ‘Unseen, Unheard... unknown’ Mariska will illuminate the sound of silence in the meat - industry. |
