Let's just admire the fact that this young lady is more eloquent with her stutter, in a second language, than many native English speakers. What a star!

I stutter and I was on summer camp and some kid told me: I love talking with you, sometimes I don't pay too much attention to what other people are saying or just don't understand some words, with you I don't have such problems cause I know you will repeat it a few times.

I still laugh when I remember it.

as a person with speech impediment, this truly inspired me to not let others get to me. I am a human being just like everyone else! I love this girl

As a person who suffered from stutter I can really feel you. Keep strong!

Who cares if you stutter, you're a bright and beautiful person inside and out, love your character! ❤️💜

This illustrates how strenuous stuttering is. The anxiety inducing moments are irritating and isolating. You do learn to embrace it eventually. But inevitably it's easy to revert back to being extremely introverted. Her attitude and tenacity is admirable. You have a lot of fortitude...bravo 👍

Here in the Philippines if they see symptoms of Social Anxiety and Stuterring..They will Judge you as Drug Addict. Wish I could have this kind of interview and spread awareness in my country..We're very Ignorant in Mental Health

10 years ago I had a mathematic teacher who stutters a bit. I was very very admirative of his tenacity. He had always wanted to teach to others, and he managed to realise his dream. He is very passionate by his work and feels concerned by students' difficulties. That's why he is one of the best teachers I had in my life ! :)

When someone stutters, it just means what they're saying is so good, it's worth repeating.

Im 31 years old, and i have stuttered my whole life. There are times when the stuttering is mild, and there are times when it's very severe. It has affected me in many ways, but it had the most impact in my professional career and my relationships with many people. It is just very hard to communicate, and i can't blame them if they do not have the patience to listen. But i got used to those things e.g. when a person im talking to suddenly ignores me and turn their back when im still speaking, when a person would repeatedly ask to the other person in the room what did i say, or when people say things that hurt. If you're reading this, know that you're not alone, and don't ever feel bad. I have actually failed tests, dropped courses in college, failed job interviews and other opportunities. But after i have been diagnpsed with a really bad health situation, i have come to realize there are many other problems worse than stuttering.. and it is best to appreciate and be grateful that at least we are now alive. Being able to breathe at this very moment is enough to say you are still blessed, and you can always choose to be happy.

I have a stutter and I feel so much better just watching this video

[JackieHagge]

Very brave girl cause this is a tough one to deal with. The world as a whole is so " hurry up..no patience..get out of the way if you're moving slow" mentality.

[majaexploring]

Willemijn is so strong and I love how she uses her art to give a platform to people who have a stutter. Continue doing what you do and Im glad I got to know you!

[manicfoot]

I admire her courage so much. I also go through phases of not stuttering at all and then suddenly it happens in every sentence. I can usually tell which word I'm going to stutter on, so I often try to find a synonym but it's not always possible.

Stuttering makes me feel deeply ashamed and embarrassed. I truly admire the fact that she just pushes through with life and doesn't let it get in her way. Very inspiring!

Willemijn looks like an amazing friend to have! So happy that she can overcome her anxiety, she is very brave and mature for that. Her willing to live happy no matter what is amazing. ♡
