Hi :) I’m 26F, from India. I have stuttered since I was a kid as well. To be honest, as a woman I think one added twist is that I am expected to be more talkative and social in general. However, with the stutter it’s hard to be that way. I relate to you so much about the little victory moments. I work in corporate too, after having studied the courses that I wanted to study. I see myself doing well at a young age, and I absolutely cannot believe it. I never thought it would be possible for me to crack interviews or speak during work meetings. My fluency is more in English to be honest, so I switch between English and Hindi often. However, as you said, sometimes while dealing with onshore folks, we don’t have the choice to switch and have to stick to English. It worries me too, as it severely restricts my range of words. Ngl, sometimes it does feel like a burden. However, every day is a new opportunity. Please know that while I don’t know you, I am so incredibly proud of you. More power to you man!
