Word Swap Wednesday: Despite
Let’s EMPOWER people who stutter by changing the words we use.
Your stutter does not diminish your accomplishments in any way. You don’t have to work hard to be “good enough” to make up for your stutter. It isn’t that midterm you bombed, and now you have to aced everything else.
Your stutter just *is*.
Introducing ✨ Word Swap Wednesday ✨, where I’ll be giving you some ways to use more powerful and inclusive language. “Word swapping” is something us people who stutter often do to avoid a stutter, but not here. Here we are facing the type of language that can diminish or harm a person who stutters and offer better alternatives. If this “seems small” to you, I promise it’s not. The language we use is essential to the way we see the word. We will all learn together.
