Receiving Stuttering In The Latino Community

DJ Portugal is a creative Chicano soul from South Central Los Angeles. His current job is a community organizer in Phoenix, AZ where he works towards environmental justice within the Latinx community. Joining me as this week’s co-host is Brenda Hernández Jaimes, founder of Ellas Media.

How does the Latino community approach stuttering? This is one of the central themes of our conversation. We also talk about imposter syndrome, how stuttering can impact learning a new language, and parenting with a stutter.
