Madison Nichols

Madison Nichols lives in Grand Rapids, MI and is passionate about self-advocacy and being your authentic, true self. She feels called to be ardent and open about stuttering, even with the difficulties it can present. Maddie has been a camper, a counselor, and a volunteer for Camp Shout Out, a summer camp for youth who stutter. She has also worked alongside the World Stuttering Organization, spearheading an initiative requesting that states allow people who stutter the ability to have this information added to their legal ID. Maddie is also a staunch supporter of mental health initiatives.

Maddie currently works for a private research institute that studies a variety of diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. When she is not working or contributing to WS@W, she is likely chasing around her toddler, crocheting, cooking, baking, or playing video games.
