They grew up on food stamps, he never went to college (although his siblings all did on financial aid). He is incredibly brilliant and had an insanely supportive, progressive mother, so definitely started ahead there. He would credit all the government and family support for the person he is today and walks the walk by giving back. I have not had an issue with finding romantic partners. I have learned to cope with my stutter and lucky for me, it has lessened over the years. It took years of confidence building, many trial and errors, and a supportive network. No successful person does it alone. But he is an example for people in this community on what’s possible if you do not let one thing define you. ✌️
