Eli Taulman is a teenager who has had a stutter since he first started talking. While he is proud of his stutter today, he didn’t always feel that way. He hid from the world by self-isolating and was deeply ashamed of his stutter growing up. A key turning point was attending his first National Stuttering Association conference where he met other stutterers for the first time. Maya and Cynthia chat with Eli, Proud Stutter’s youngest guest, about how he became proud of his stutter and offers advice for teens who may be struggling with their stutter.
