Sisters Who Stutter Spotlight: Reagan Jeninsky

Dancer. Advocate. Confident Communicator.

When Reagan Jeninsky first discovered the NSA two years ago, she was a nervous 8th grader who thought she was the only teen in the world who stuttered. Fast forward to today, and she’s not only found her voice — she’s using it to help others find theirs.

As a proud member of the Sisters Who Stutter (SWS) committee, Reagan now supports other girls just like her: teens who are learning to accept their stutter, build confidence, and feel seen in a world that often misunderstands them.

“Before I found the NSA, I used to be really insecure about my stutter. Finding this organization has skyrocketed my confidence. I’ve made lifelong friendships and I’m finally proud of who I am.”

Dancing Through the Stutters

For Reagan, dance has always been a safe space — a form of expression that requires no words but tells every part of her story.

“Dance has been my lifesaver when it comes to stuttering. It helps me tell stories through movement. It’s where I go when I feel stressed or overwhelmed.”

As a pre-professional dancer, Reagan finds strength in movement and confidence on stage. She’s even started teaching others about stuttering, using her voice and platform to raise awareness and promote acceptance.

Reagan’s Advice to New Members?

“You’re never alone. There will always be someone walking right beside you. The NSA is so supportive and welcoming — it can truly change your view on life.”

Spreading Strength Through Sisterhood

Reagan’s transformation from isolated to empowered is exactly what Sisters Who Stutter is all about: building community, lifting each other up, and reminding girls who stutter that they are strong, beautiful, and never alone.

Whether she’s dancing across a stage or speaking on a Zoom call, Reagan shows that confidence doesn’t mean perfection — it means showing up, just as you are.

Reagan, we are so proud of the leader, dancer, and advocate you’ve become. Thank you for inspiring others to find the power in their voices — stutters and all.
