The human cost of your smartphone | Johise Namwira | TEDxWinnipeg

What if the phone in your hand carried the story of a forgotten war? In this urgent and deeply personal TEDx talk, human rights advocate Johise Namwira uncovers the devastating human cost behind the minerals that power our phones, laptops, and electric cars. From her family’s escape during the Congolese civil war to her field research with survivors of violence, Johise connects the dots between consumer choices, colonial legacies, and one of the world’s deadliest ongoing conflicts. With clarity and conviction, she challenges us to rethink what we buy, who profits, and who pays the price—offering powerful ways we can support justice, accountability, and healing for the Democratic Republic of Congo. Johise Namwira, a Congolese refugee turned PR expert, is on a mission to confront the exploitation behind our technology. With degrees from the University of Manitoba and Oxford, she brings global insight to her talk, inspiring us to push for ethical change in the tech industry. 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
