Welcome to Disability Awesome. Each week, this post will feature a person or persons with mental and / or physical disabilities who are doing awesome things! As someone with an disability, I love it when others when disabilities do great things!

Actor Emily Blunt, along with Heather Grossman, the executive director of the American Institute for Stuttering, join TODAY to talk about Blunt’s very personal lifelong journey with stuttering and raising awareness of the neurological disability. They break down the common misconceptions of people with stutters, and Blunt opens up about the environments that still give her trouble with speaking fluency, including when saying her own name. “You feel like there’s this sort of imposter in your body that misrepresents who you really are,” she says.
