International Stuttering Awareness Day takes place every year on October 22. I like to plan an awareness campaign each time. In the past I’ve created audio podcasts, special Google+ Hangouts throughout the day, blog posts, and tweeting stuttering fun facts mixed...

I just launched Ti-Ger.org with my friend. The idea for this new website came after listening to my friend’s analogy of stuttering acceptance on his podcast (which you can read about right on the ti-ger.org homepage). The analogy inspired me (I stutter) to draw a...

Episode number 3, Ordering Ordeal, of my St-St-Stuttering Is C-C-Cool comic is up. The story is modelled after my experiences of stuttering my mochaccino orders. Sometimes I’d get weird looks from the baristas and other times I don’t. It all depends on...

I’m working on a couple of graphic novels and one of them is about stuttering to coincide with my podcast, Stuttering is Cool. The comic called, well, St-St-Stuttering is C-C-Cool. The plot follows a stutterer who grows to accept and embrace his stutter. At the...
