I was afraid to even take the microphone: a famous radio host told how he coped with the stutter

A well-known radio host of the Northern Irish station Q Radio Ibe Sesay (Ibe Sesay) admitted that for a long time he was afraid to speak to the public because of a stutter. His speech problems began at the age of seven and seriously hampered his confidence. Even when he became interested in music and began to act as a DJ in the clubs of Belfast, the man fundamentally did not pick up the microphone, fearing the reaction of others. This is according to Northern Ireland World.

The turning point came when Sesei was unexpectedly offered an evening radio broadcast. He decided to try, and this experience opened the way for him to become a leader. Speaking at an event dedicated to the International Day of dissemination of information about stuttering, the man said that a huge role in his life played speech therapist Barbara Reed. Thanks to professional support, he learned to communicate more confidently and ceased to perceive the features of his speech as an insurmountable obstacle.

Now the radio host advises people with stutter not to give up their goals and not be afraid to seek help. “Many do not dare even the simplest things that others do every day without thinking,” he said. According to Sesei, it is important not to close in, gradually try to talk in unusual situations and work with specialists. He stressed that stuttering should not determine the choice of profession or limit the possibilities of a person.

Speech therapists supported his words, reminding that the task of therapy is not necessarily to completely eliminate stuttering, but to help a person communicate more freely and confidently. Experts recommend not to be ashamed of the peculiarities of speech, do not avoid conversations and, if necessary, seek professional support. Sesei himself is confident that timely help can change lives, even if previously speaking in front of the microphone seemed impossible.
