I have met many women world wide who stutter, and live in silence and shame, because of the stigma of stuttering. People who stutter are often assumed to be emotionally and/or intellectually deficient.
I have audio recordings of 60 women from all over the world, telling their brave and inspirational stories of living ordinary lives and doing extraordinary things despite being socially, vocationally and economically discriminated against because of our speech impairment.
I want to shine a light on these voices and let the world know how brilliant these women are and produce an educational and inspirational documentary film that will give girls and women around the world hope that they can have their voices heard.
As the saying of World Pulse goes, no one speaks for us. We speak for ourselves.
