In this episode we sit down with the host of "Beyond the Stutter" for a special interview to talk about the effects of speech impediments and the correlation with mental health. Antoine opens up and talks about the difficulties of growing up with a stutter and the effects it had on how he was portrayed by others. Antoine is the definition of an overcomer as he works through his uncontrollable stutter and has created so much success in his life. He was a Division 1 football player at UC Berkeley and has created a brand that aims to give back to the community in ways that not only normalize speech impediments but give people their voices back! We enjoyed this conversation so much and learned a ton about empathy and the power of having a voice and we hope you do too!
