About the event
Have you struggled to reconcile who you really are with the complex nature of being a person who stutters? Do you wonder if stuttering has altered your personality and desire to be a more authentic version of yourself but are not sure who that is? Stuttering, as we know, is highly complex because it is still so misunderstood by the general public.
