Intersectional identities overlap, connect, disconnect and can even attempt to cancel each other out. During a live interview at the National Stuttering Association's 39th Annual Conference in Newport Beach California, I talked with multiple people who stutter about their intersectional identities and how these different identities show up in their lives. Interviewees include Christian, an Asian American man who stutters and a film and TV producer, Sam, a multi-racial queer woman who stutters in the mental health field, Alicia, a Latino also in the healthcare field, and Eugene, an African American, Irish and Native American man who stutters. Mentioned in the episode:Maya and the Three (Netflix show)Once Upon A Time In HollywoodThe King’s SpeechBehind Porky Pig’s VoiceToday’s Episode:[3:56] What is Intersectionality?[8:12] TV & Film & Shifting The Stuttering Narrative[8:27] Characters Who Stutter & Examples of Representing Stuttering Right [13:46] Covert Stuttering[17:04] Creating A World Where We Stutter Freely[19:50] Mini Interview with Alicia[21:24] Mini Interview with Sam[24:12] Mini Interview with EugeneConnect with Maya and Proud Stutter: Twitter | Instagram | Website | LinkedIn | Support | Subscribe | E-Newsletter | ShopSUPPORT PROUD STUTTERSupport Proud Stutter By Signing Up on Ko-Fi [Similar to Patreon]OR Make a One-Time DonationSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/proud-stutter/exclusive-content
