Hi, I’m a person who has a speech impediment “ Stutter” I was so ashamed of revealing my identity to the public. I truly believe my voice matters, I truly want to let everyone who is affected by this speech impediment, you are not alone. I would like to make a positive impact to the world by sharing my struggles with stuttering and how we have a right to be seen and heard.

Thank you 🙏🏼
