Having a Voice: Challenging the social and internal stigma of stuttering (Part 2)

On Tuesday, March 24, 2012 Nina G preformed at the Berkeley Marsh for Tell It On Tuesdays. She discussed the social stigma of stuttering, the impact of the media, dealing with fluent people who don't get it, and challenging the internal stigmas in herself to become the world's only female stuttering stand up comedian. This video is part two of two where Nina G discusses the "stuttering iceberg" and the need to NOT overcome stuttering, but instead the isolation, shame, and other negative feelings she felt about herself.
