Speaker, Advocate, Stutterer
As a public speaker, my mission is to advocate for individuals who stutter and illuminate its complexities with the intersection of neurodiversity and race. By sharing personal experiences and providing insightful information, I aim to challenge misconceptions, promote understanding, and inspire positive change in attitudes towards stuttering and its intersection with other identities.
