It’s time to free the best version of yourself. FreedomLaine offers personal growth for Black men through expert Coaching and authentic Conversations.
I’m Chris McLeod, a Black man who stutters. A nightmare at the age of three left me with a lifelong stutter. For most of my life I dealt with shame, fear, stress, and anxiety from my stutter. When the world went to virtual in 2020, things became the worst they had ever been. I couldn’t speak on Zoom meetings. I was paralyzed to talk and emotionally-anguished. The stress and fear of people judging me on my stutter became too much to bear. I decided to do something about it.
