Emily Anderson joins Chaya Goldstein at the 2018 National Stuttering Association’s (NSA) 35th annual conference to discuss becoming comfortable with stuttering, the beauty of stuttering vulnerability, the importance of stuttering allies, the power of meeting other people who stutter, issues around acceptance, framing stuttering as a strength, and so much more.
Emily Anderson is a person who stutters from Anchorage, Alaska. Ms. Anderson is an environmentalist specializing in water quality and contaminated sites located in the rural Yukon River tribes. Being outdoors in nature is a huge part of Emily’s life. Her love for Alaska inspired Anderson to start Alaska’s first Family Chapter, hoping to spread awareness and self acceptance for fellow stutters. The constant support from her mother, a retired speech-language pathologist, and loving boyfriend is her driving force behind being an advocate for the stuttering community.
