'What I'm really trying to do is to like build a movement where the stuttering community feels safe enough to come out of the shadows ' It's estimated that more than 70 million people worldwide have some sort of communicative disorder.
Maya says she was always described by teachers and classmates as "shy" and "quiet," a description she says couldn't have been further from the truth.
"I was very outgoing," she says, "like inside myself, I like always wanted to contribute in class and speak up and share my voice. But there was always that conflicting thought in my head of like, 'you want to say that something, but you stutter.' There was always that 'but.'""And I would develop ways where I can hide my stutter," Chupkov explains, "and that's kind of how I lived my life.
Now in season two of her podcast, Maya is doing it on her own, but still having a rotating co-host of people who don't stutter, allowing for more diverse and intersectional conversations. "I think my biggest goal is to see more stuttering on TV and film that is more representative of the stuttering experience," Chupkov says. "What I'm really trying to do is to like build a movement where the stuttering community feels safe enough to come out of the shadows and really not be afraid to be who we are. Because the more of us takes that brave step, the more others will too.
