I am a disabled 27 year old guy that lives in the USA. I have a speech impediment that makes speaking difficult haha but I have recently decided to start vlogging. I used to be very ashamed of my disabilities but im starting to view my disabilities as just a part of who I am. I LOVE TO VLOG, so far.
