I'm a fellow stutter, i struggle a lot with job interviews, I've lost a lot of opportunities. The anxiety that comes with this condition is real. I'm grateful for people around me who are always patient with me and supportive... When i am angry, i struggle to express myself, then i resort to being silent, and that makes people think I'm a walk over, or i rather walk away, i struggle with confrontation, i always choose to keep quiet... A lot of times in my life, a taxi dropped me off waay passed my destination because i would struggle to say "short left" or whatever, it is a struggle... I am 41 and unemployed, every time I get an interview invite, it feels like a death sentence 😢 You have given me some hope and confidence sir. I will continue being patient with myself and practice the breathing techniques you are advising on. Thank you so much ❤

I had to get a medical certificate from a speech therapist, it made things easy.

I relate to thus brother, I was born Stturing, I struggled a lot to do presentations in front of the class but I kept going and become more confident. I still struggle though when attending interviews. Thanks for this conversation... Big up

This was the most interesting podcast I really enjoyed❤ Tumi Modibedi his a genuine healer…

I relate to this so much... As a stutter myself, it's very hard to deal with stuttering. However I forced myself to speak in front of large crowds of 200+ people at school and university which has helped with my confidence and self-esteem. Amazing episode, this is very much relatable

The Skeem Saam idea is so good, I hope they can adopt the idea and use you👌🏽

Stuttering is not a disability. It's less understood in black communities. I'm your brother, this conversation makes me emotional 😭. It's tough! I still stutter and have made peace with it.

I stutter and do not take it as a disability!! I have found a way to work around it. From finding an alternative word, using substitute words like "that thing", etc. Sometimes it can be mistaken for lack of confidence and it can affect an individual!!

Shout out to you my homeboy...What you do for the kids is remarkable. We love and appreciate you haholo🙌❤.

I stutter myself, I nearly dropped out of high school but through my friends who made me realize it's not something I called upon myself but natural to me, I managed to gain confidence and went on...today I'm working in 1 of the government departments n very few people realize I stutter as I managed now to control my speaking😊

I learnt a lot struuu. During our school days we used to laugh cos we didn't understand, I'm going to change towards ppl that are stuttering and teach others. Knowledge is power struu. Our communities don't have information about a lot of things.

Children always need to be seen and understood no matter their circumstances. You are a blessing to all the children you've touched Tumi. May you be blessed.

Hei am so happy to come across this episode because i was teaching 30years ago and realise how helpful Tumi is because i didnt know exactly how to handle kids who stuters,as teachers we are not taught how to handle these kids thnks so much for the work he is doing❤❤❤

I stutter also.. My Brother taught me breath. She said i should allow people to rush me when i speak. Another trick she taught me to ..use emmmmm everytime i feel i amgoing to stutter i breath or mmmm . Good informative session..

Teachers are currently my biggest problem with my son. As a mom I'm working so hard to build him up and they come and humiliate our stuttering kids in front of the very kids who are already mocking and bullying him

Geez I used to stutter from as early as started talking. It suddenly stopped at age 5. Don't know what happened.

Wow , what an education ❤ Tumi your healing 👏 so many lives.

What a beautiful and informative interview...we definitely need to do better to raise awareness ❤

Grew up stuttering, terribly so in Primary...a bit better in High School....it seems I outgrew it when I "unconsciously" improved my confidence....now my child stutters, and it started in the intermediate phases of school

You are doing an amazing job 2mi, am here for all of it my brother

Tumi, keep doing what you do. You're doing the Lord's work... I wish you the best, and I pray 🙏🏼 you get the funding you need for this beautiful project ❤

The best Concept Tumi brought into action much respect❤

Thanks for educating us, because of I stutter foundation am a better friend to my stuttering friend.

Me too I stutter, the more I grow up the more my stutter get worse.

Another person who can really assist is one of my favorite musicians Brenda Mntambo, she openly shared her story on a podcast (House of Sankofa) with Paul Mnisi

My boi doing bigger things for the nation ❤

It sometimes get far worse than skipping school.

😂😂 If someone show signs of frustration . I boldly tell them i stutter then wemove on . I did not choose to stutter

I overcome my stutter and today I'm a professional Communications officer. Not to say that I have completely overcame it, but I learned how to manage it and speak fluently when needs be.

Do you mind sharing the techniques you use to manage your stuttering? I have a 13 year old who is stuttering.

@@ntombentshantlantsana5145 Well, what I do is that I become conscious of my speech when I talk and I talk at a slow pace. I don't ever let myself become pressured to speak fast, because I know that I will stutter if I speak rapidly. I hope it helps.

How do I get hold of him? I’ve always stuttered and I want to share my story with him

This is making me so emotional, I can relate to this, I stutter myself and my 1st born stutters and I have an uncle who stutters too, so my Stuttering is genetic. You lose opportunities because of this. This was so sad and hard, as you would be accused of stuff, when you try and defend yourself people wanna overpower you because they talk better. I am at a better space and I am working so hard to instill confidence in my son, he's so brilliant and I think the world is gonna know him for his brilliant person that he is.
