Taylor Worsham

Taylor is a lifelong person who stutters and has spent most of her life doing everything she could to hide it. Even as a student, she was too afraid to raise her hand to ask to use the restroom, so she stopped drinking water altogether during the day. She attended speech therapy for years as a child and again as an adult in 2023, where she ran into the same fluency-first approach. That same year, she found the NSA and learned about covert stuttering, a term that finally gave language to what she had been navigating for years.

These experiences, which once made her feel broken and ashamed, now fuel her passion for raising stuttering awareness and drive her work at the NSA every day. As our Community Manager & Communications Coordinator, Taylor keeps the conversations going across our social platforms. She manages social interactions, writes almost all of our copy (think social, email, and website), and helps ensure our digital presence feels as welcoming as the community behind it. On our marketing team, she’s affectionately known as the Copy Queen—a title she wears proudly.

She’s actively working on being more overt and accepting of her stutter, a journey that will probably last a lifetime. She remains deeply close with her family and is immensely grateful for their unconditional love and support. She currently lives peacefully in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula with her beloved cat, where she balances cold winters with the warm NSA community.
