Hi, my name is Zhou Fang and I've stuttered badly for most of my life. My speech therapist told me that very little is known about what causes stuttering, but at the same time also said with great certainty I wouldn't be able to get rid of it completely and the best would be to live with it. I can’t say I never trip on a word anymore, but watching the video, would you be able to tell? In this video I share my journey with you.
Accepting and loving oneself is the most important, with or without a stutter. I hope you'll take my message not as pressure to stop stuttering, but as support to believe in yourself. Don't let other people tell you who you can or cannot be. You be you.
