I’m so impressed with this video. First, because of how professional it looks… but mostly because of the content. It was really refreshing for me to hear the honesty of Joe Moglia’s fears when it comes to stuttering. What a cool guy. It was also special to see how AIS has helped those two very, very remarkable children (Joseph and Jodriann) who spoke at the Gala. Those have to be to of the coolest kids on the planet. And lastly, from one stuttering musician to another, great song Miles!

I’ll wait for that …..and if there are so many great actors who stuttered then we should try to make a Hollywood movie showing the dark side of stuttering. The emotions and pain and most importantly the Success. Will smith wud be the best to act in this movie.I know that he doesnt stammers but still.just like the movie “Front of the class”, showing toutettes syndrome.
