This week on Proud Stutter, we’re joined by Shamez Kasam, a lifelong stutterer based in Alberta, Canada, who shares his powerful journey from shame to self-acceptance—and what he calls “recovery.” Shamez talks about growing up with severe stuttering, the impact it had on his life, and how purposeful desensitization helped shift his mindset. We explore what it means to be a “recovered stutterer,” the emotional toll of speech-based trauma, and how empathy and persistence can grow from stuttering. This episode is a testament to resilience, self-reflection, and the lifelong process of befriending your voice.In this episode🎟 Get early bird tickets for <a href="https://www.flipcause.com/secure/donate/MjMxMzE0" rel="nofollow">Proud Stutter’s Annual Gala</a> on October 9 in San Francisco-----Big thanks to Proud Stutter&#39;s recurring supporters: Jennifer Bolen, Jerry Slaff, Josh Compton, Pablo Meza, Matt Didisheim, Alexandra Mosby, Ingo Helbig, Jonathan Reiss, Jason Smith, Paige McGill, Wayne Engebretson, Swathy Manavalan, and Martha Horrocks.Learn more about Proud Stutter&#39;s impact campaign for its film project at <a href="http://proudstutter.org/impact" rel="nofollow">proudstutter.org/impact</a>If you can become a monthly donor at $10 or more, we’ll give you access to ad-free episodes and bonus Proud Stutter&#43; content as a token of our thanks!
