As we head into Week 5 of our Confident Voices programming, we are proud to share this exceptional poem collaboratively written by The Song & Spoken Word Project participants in celebration of International Stuttering Awareness Day.
What Stuttering is
Stuttering, it's not messed up words it's...
Hard work
Expressing yourself
Trying your best
Interesting to experience
Sometimes it feels weird
You can't get your words out
Other people won't give you time
It's just around you
It's there, and it might be a friend, or a foe
For everyone it's different
But for you, it's unique
There are lots of ways to share the #ISAD spirit and spread stuttering awareness all year long. Visit say.org/isad2022 to check out some of our ideas...and feel free to let us know some of yours!
