Johnnie Pina does not let his stutter get in the way of being a successful lobbyist where public speaking is a main part of his job. Joining us is Alexandra Leal, host of Democracy Is, a podcast from California Common Cause. We discuss the importance of community in building confidence and overcoming public speaking fears. We also talk about the local resolution process and how it can be used to generate public awareness.
Stuttering visibility and acceptance in local communities can have a huge impact. For example, passing a local resolution can have a ripple effect and can even help people realize and accept their own identity.
The guide for this episode, with resources, transcript, show notes, and more, can be found here: www.proudstutter.com/proud-stutter-season-2-episode-13
