Episode Synopsis

For numerous years Marvin Wiley Jr. had struggled with his stutter, which led him to avoid social interactions.  At the age of 23, he birthed a belief that he could work towards developing himself into a more confident speaker, inspired from his experience in a public speaking course he took in college in 2013.  Marvin currently serves as the Conductor of Stutter Block Party, a newly formed monthly event that brings together people who stutter and SLP's to play games, converse, and connect.  Marvin has been a Toastmaster ever since passing the public speaking course and has discovered how to stop his stutter from dictating the course of his life;  thriving among the support surrounding him.  He now strives to share with others what he has learned along his journey with the goal of encouraging others to take action against their fears so they can get the most out of life. Some of Marvin’s passions include videography and playing golf.
