    Join us for a powerful fireside chat with Sophia Noel, Head of the ElevenLabs Impact Program, and Yvonne Johnson, an Afro-Caribbean advocate and ALS patient who uses ElevenLabs to communicate. This conversation will explore the mission of the Impact Program and highlight Yvonne’s personal journey and advocacy for greater cultural recognition of ALS in underserved communities. Recently, Yvonne reached out to update her old voice bank, and is now regaining something deeply personal: a voice that truly sounds like her own. Together, they will reflect on what it means to reclaim your voice and be fully heard.
