    Vulnerable to Power of ‘Influencers’

Speaking Freely, Not Fluently

The biggest step in my journey was when I attended my first National Stuttering Association conference in Dallas in 2017. An event that would change my life. It taught me about advertising my stutter, voluntarily stuttering and, most importantly, accepting your stutter. All of these concepts have to do with exposing your stutter, rather than hiding from it. This is was an idea that blew my mind. I wanted to share these with the rest of the stuttering world so they could benefit from them the way I had. So I came back to LA and became a local NSA chapter leader at Cal State Northridge, hoping to spread the word of support and acceptance. Another example of my newfound desire to get out of my comfort zone to improve my speech. -- Medium
