Q & A

What is one barrier you have overcome? How did you do it and what did you learn?

I have issues with articulation. This means it is hard for me to say certain sounds. Growing up this was a barrier because sometimes people wouldn’t understand what I was saying. I worked with a speech pathologist to help me learn strategies to work around this issue. It created a secondary barrier because people would sometimes treat me differently because of my speech. I had to prove to them that I am capable and competent. I learned to self advocate to be seen for my abilities instead of being judged and limited based on my disability.
