The only other thing I could recommend is music my dad stuttered so he joined the army band and learned the Tuba and became a music teacher in the army. I followed suit from a very young age, I was raised in Alaska much of my life and became the #2 tuba player in the state, the band gave me a sense of belonging, but I was one of the only colored people in the band and the band director said some really foul things to me and I quit band, now I do live guitar shows in the cities I visit! I learned how to play guitar over the years so most of my free time is spent actually shredding on guitar, you can check out my YouTube @ BZBOPS on YouTube, I make a lot of YouTube shorts I’m not the greatest but I’d say I’m pretty good for never having a guitar lesson! But regardless I came into the universe without a voice and when my confidence in music rose so did my voice! Along with continually putting my all into everything I did! I was a very frustrated kid and wanted to fight my bullies so I joined the wrestling team and over the years I became a 5 time all American 2 of which were in college, if it were for wrestling and music I wouldn’t be the person I am today. I was the first African American to all American for Alaska and to wrestle on team USA! I’ve even placed in overseas tournaments as well! I don’t mean to go this in depth to brag but just know I got made fun of even while being one of the best wrestlers in the nation! I loved wrestling but once I got to team USA I have never been more disrespected by my peers ever so it was heart breaking really bc I was ranked #3 in the nation and had 0 support from coaches or my parents during the time! So here I am now making music everyday and stone art work to sell, I also have a pressure washing and brick maintenance business! These are pretty much all the things I do that don’t involve talking I hope it helps!
