Lavon and Rebecca met through their shared love for performance. When they met, Rebecca didn’t know one of Lavon’s most pronounced challenges: that he has a stutter. In this episode, Lavon opens about what it’s meant for him to stutter as a child and as an adult, how it manifests, and how it affects his relationship to other people and opportunities. They discuss how just one affectation can change the course of your life, and what it’s like when you are divergent from the norm, but not in a protected group. And they explore how to find power over a source of shame.You can find Lavon Youins on Facebook, if you're lucky enough to become his friend. You might also see him act in productions by the Savannah Readers Theatre, led by Bonnie Brault.
