NB The subtitles include Stephenโ€™s stammer in text form. ISA believes in accessibility and authenticity. ISA asks speakers how they would prefer their speech to be represented in the subtitles of videos.

The first thank you message! One of our latest updates included a feature where the speech therapist or client could write a message to thank an artist. We hope that this feature can help individuals voice their thanks directly to the artist. @stutterverse

I always enjoy Jack's thought-provoking comments and insights. And this sounds like a wonderful event!
'STAMMA is a community. So are events like City Lit's Stammering Pride Against Prejudice' on 15th Sept, where I'll be speaking. Talking together, you get new ideas, you learn what you have in common and how you can help each other.' Read Jack's article: stamma.org/your-voice/workinโ€ฆ

So, so excited to share what has been an absolute labour of love for the past few years! I am grateful to the 11 contributors and 4 mentors who supported me throughout. Pre-orders for the magazine will start soon, with copies being shipped in November. โœจโœจโœจ
โ€œThe prouder I get, the more change happens.โ€ But what does it mean to be proud of something you associate with struggle and pain? After many years of work, weโ€™re so excited to announce that Dysfluent Issue 2: Stammering Pride will launch this October in Rotterdam ๐ŸŽ‰

Saturday musings as I bake some treats to bring to the ISA stammering pride picnic tomorrow โ˜บ๏ธ As an ND ally with the stammering community, I have learnt and gained so much from stammering pride. Pride should not be conditional. You have a right to feel pride, just as you are.

This is Disability Pride Month; let's talk about Stuttering and what my favourite comedian with a stutter, Nina G says about it- "I Stutter! You're gonna have to wait for all my brilliant ideas." Art credit - Michael James Schneider @BLCKSMTHdesign Another quote said by Nina that touched my heart is, โ€œThe goal is not about becoming fluent; it is living well with or without fluency.โ€ Image Description- Nina G is standing with her hands wide open and smiling. And there is an ocean-green background with huge fonts in pink "I Stutter! You're gonna have to wait for all my brilliant ideas." #StammeringPride #DisabilityPrideMonth #DisabilityPride #DisabilityInclusion #Equity #Accessibility
