Real Talk with Mom: Stuttering Acceptance vs. Fluency

Proud Stutter

Maya and her mom have a raw and emotional conversation about her stutter. 

Before this interview, Maya had never shared with her mom how she really felt about growing up with a stutter, how exhausting speech therapy was after school, and how hiding her stutter took so much out of her mentally.

“Having all these tools to practice was just another kind of thing I had t-to think about when I never really wanted to do it in the first p-place. But at th-the same time, I really appreciate you going above and beyond t-to help me especially b-because at that time I really did hate my stutter...I felt so alone in it.”
