In a society like ours living with stuttering is a curse. The world we inhabit perpetuates barriers for individuals like us who stutters. Society inherently judges people by their fluency, often perceiving stuttering as inferior. Our obsession with social hierarchy favors articulate communication, associating leadership with eloquence. Fluency is coveted, while inarticulateness is stigmatized. Society don't have a place for people like us to thrive. Every job vacancy is based on interview. The moment we stutter, most people will view us as inferior despite our talent.
