Youth Panel meets Jessie: Honest conversations about stammering

In celebration of International Stammering Awareness Day (ISAD), we’re proud to share a special video created with our youth panel and Jessie Roux, a passionate stammer advocate and a hair stylist from Hull. Some of you might know Jessie from the TV show The Traitors!

We asked Jessie questions about her journey with stammering:

– What advice would Jessie give people who feel like they have to hide their stammer?
– What would Jessie tell her younger self about stammering?
– How has Jessie’s relationship with her stammer evolved over time?
– What are the biggest misconceptions about stammering (according to Jessie)?
– Speaking publicly with a stammer: worries vs raising awareness

Whether you stammer or not, this conversation is designed to inspire.

We encourage you to watch, reflect, and share this widely to help amplify voices far beyond the stammering community.
