What if saving lives and growing a company went hand in hand? Public health expert Myriam Sidibe thinks many businesses are going about social impact all wrong — and leaving millions of dollars on the table at the same time. Drawing from decades of experience, she reveals a playbook for brands to create real impact, proving that what’s good for society can be great for business. (Recorded at TED2025 on April 9, 2025)

I see far too many English, white, adult females not washing their hands after using public toilets.
The reinforcing of negative stereotypes around ethnic minorities not washing their hands must end.
Let’s do better as a society of human beings.

With all the killings and warmongering around the world today, TED chooses to turn its attention on some nonsenses.

If you boil down the idea. she’s explaining how corporations through marketing techniques can manipulate and alter human behavior on a mass scale. She may being trying to help people with this but what about all the other companies using this for toxic reasons.
