It breaks my heart reading this…. I have a “Block” stutter… I LOVE TO TALK INFRONT OF WHOEVER!!! The larger the group the more excited I am to share who I am with the world; hoping that between my two lazy eyes, my epilepsy, my stutter and my history battling homeless drug addiction and being able to say I am actually 8 years SOBER… I have found that if I talk with my hands and almost speak like SUBTLY MELODIC/RHYTHMIC I have a much much easier time.. I am filled with confidence I had a wonderful Father. He passed from brain cancer when I was 13 but he instilled in me the ability to CRUSH self doubt; and be “THE EXAMPLE”. Don’t let anyone ever make you feel less than…. You are perfect; there are children and adults all searching for inspiration to feel “okay” with something so taken for granted like speaking/reading a loud.. I’m able to rap battle I can read the Bible or Shakespeare.. It has not been an easy road but if I FOUND IT WITHIN MYSELF and actually draw strength from it… Then, well, YOU CAN TOO!!!!!
