Exploring Stuttering and Intersectional Identities (Live Interview!)

Intersectional identities overlap, connect, disconnect and can even attempt to cancel each other out. During a live interview at the National Stuttering Association's 39th Annual Conference in Newport Beach California, I talked with multiple people who stutter about their intersectional identities and how these different identities show up in their lives. 

Interviewees include Christian, an Asian American man who stutters and a film and TV producer, Sam, a multi-racial queer woman who stutters in the mental health field, Alicia, a Latino also in the healthcare field, and Eugene, an African American, Irish and Native American man who stutters. 

Mentioned in the episode:

• Maya and the Three (Netflix show)
• Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
• The King’s Speech
• Behind Porky Pig’s Voice
