< Back Poetry, Presence, and French Vanilla: Here’s Derek Daniels’ NSA Story Meet Derek Daniels. He’s been part of the NSA family since 2002, starting in Houston and now calling the Detroit/Royal Oak Chapter home. When he walked through that first NSA Chapter meeting door, he was looking for community. Like so many of us who stutter, he found more than that. He found validation. He found connection. He found people who just… got it. Over the years, the NSA has become something deeper for Derek, a space where his experience as a person who stutters is affirmed. That sense of affirmation has helped shape every part of his journey. As a professor, researcher, and clinician, Derek’s career blends purpose with passion. He teaches, travels, networks, supports people who stutter, and still finds time to grow as a poet. What’s Derek proud of? A lot. Personally, it’s been his evolution as a writer. Professionally, it’s receiving both the NSA’s Professional of the Year and Scholar Award. But more than accolades, it’s about staying true to himself and showing up fully in his work and in the community. He’s got advice for newcomers, too: “You have a community that embraces you for who you are.” And if you really want to get to know him? Offer him a soft chocolate chip cookie, turn on a little Taylor Dayne or Jon Secada, and ask him what he loves about London. Previous Next

< Back Spotlight on the Professional Relations Committee: Megan Young’s Journey as an Ally and Advocate The NSA community includes people who stutter and allies who stand beside them. Today, we’re spotlighting Megan Young, a powerful voice in the NSA’s Professional Relations Committee and someone who has built her career around supporting people who stutter. Megan joined the NSA in 2019 during her doctoral program at The University of Texas at Austin. “I wanted to get more connected with the stuttering community,” she recalls, “so I started attending the Austin Chapter meetings occasionally as an ally.” Since then, Megan has been involved with the NSA for 6 years, growing her professional work and personal connections. In 2023, she successfully defended her dissertation and earned her Ph.D. in speech, language, and hearing sciences—an achievement we celebrate with her! Megan now serves on the Professional Relations Committee, a group focused on building bridges between the NSA and the wider professional world—especially speech-language pathologists (SLPs). The committee provides resources, creates continuing education content, and advocates for greater SLP participation in the stuttering community. “We want every single SLP to know about the NSA,” Megan explains, “and to feel empowered to engage with our work and our members.” For Megan, the NSA has been more than a professional network—it’s been a transformative personal experience. "I’ve been involved with the NSA for 6 years, initially joining to connect with the stuttering community during my doctoral program. As someone who doesn’t stutter, I’m deeply humbled by how welcoming and vibrant this community is. It’s been an incredible journey that’s shaped my work as a clinician, researcher, and advocate.” Her message to anyone new to the NSA? “You won’t regret coming to your first event — you’ll be welcomed with open arms!” And when Megan isn’t making waves in research or outreach, she’s embracing a life full of creativity and nature. Get to know Megan: Favorite ice cream flavor: S’mores Beach, mountains, or desert? Mountains, always. Go-to karaoke song: "Dancing in the Dark" – Bruce Springsteen Favorite rewatch: The Sopranos Pets: Two cats—Uma and Tito Hidden talent: Painting and ceramics Dream vacation: Exploring Patagonia We’re so grateful to have Megan’s dedication, passion, and perspective on the team. Her work continues to elevate the NSA’s mission—and we’re lucky to have her. Thank you, Megan! Previous Next
