Calling all people who stutter and allies! 🎉🎉🎉
Many folks who stutter aren’t ready to start broadcasting their stuttering, understandably. Society has not exactly been kind and patient, which has made many people who stutter expert "hiders".
This is a 🌟call to action🌟to all who are ready to help collectively break that silence to help spread the radical notion that it’s OK to stutter. 😍
