National Stuttering Assocation Freelance Project

National Stuttering Assocation Freelance Project Hi everyone! I posted a few days ago onto a different account but that's not my main account so I am just re-posting here. I'm working with the **National Stuttering Association** on a visual storytelling project called "Silent Strength" that aims to share our journeys through design. Each feature will be an **Instagram carousel post** that pairs a portrait with personal stories of finding strength through stuttering - these are centered around an **internal dialogue** \- whether that be to yourself, for someone else, or a wish for others. For me, stuttering has taught me immense empathy - when you experience being misunderstood, you develop a deeper understanding of others facing their own unique challenges. I've received some negative reactions, and I understand completely. Stuttering can be incredibly difficult to discuss. But I believe that with every ebb there is a flow, and sometimes what we see as our struggle becomes our greatest teacher. If you'd like to participate, I'll need: 1. A portrait photo (LinkedIn photo, professional headshot, or nice selfie) 2. Two traits that define you beyond stuttering (like "designer, coffee enthusiast, & stutterer") 3. A quote about your stuttering journey that I can include with your first name and last initial The goal is to show that while stuttering is part of our story, it's not our only story. We're artists, athletes, teachers, parents - people with diverse interests and experiences. If you're interested in sharing your story, please DM me. Every journey matters, whether you're still finding your way or have found peace with your stutter. Thank you for reading
