Having Our Voices Heard: A Conference For African-Americans Who Stutter is a component of African-American Women Who Stutter Project. This much needed national focused, groundbreaking conference is the first of its kind, focusing on how stuttering effects the overall quality of life of African-Americans who stutter.

April 27-28, 2012 

Friday-Saturday, 8:00AM to 5:00PM

The conference will provide African-Americans who stutter the opportunity to come together with the concerned-community of clergy, educators, healthcare providers, human service providers, psychologists, social workers, sociologists, speech pathologists, and others who desire to gain insight on this often misunderstood speech disorder, also breaking the society silence, especially in the African-American community.

African-American Women Who Stutter Project is an initiative of The Clara Cantrell Clemmons Assistance Center. It is designed to bring awareness of African-American women who stutter, to show how stuttering effects their overall quality of life. This project will encompass the gathering, documentation and dissemination of information on African-American women who stutter.
