Our May meeting was on zoom with 6 people who stutter attending. We had a first-timer, a second-timer and four regulars. Everyone introduced themselves and shared a bit of their stuttering journey story so the first-timer could better relate/connect with attendees. Each attendee was asked a follow-up question where they chose either a silly or serious question to answer. The second-timer asked for a silly question that he answered WAY SERIOUSLY. The question was about your dream dinner guest list and the second-timer answered with Jesus, Ghandi and a few other icons with overcomer stories.

That set in motion deep conversations ranging from low points in life (from stuttering) to the “magic” Ozempic-like stutter-free pill to our stuttering self-stigma imprisonment to more. Attendees absolutely left more knowledgeable about their stuttering journey.
