Kenyon Martin

Kenyon Martin, the Denver Nuggets basketball sensation who was named to the NBA’s All Star Team in 2004, joins other famous people who stutter in a new brochure. The brochure - which unfolds into a small poster - is available free of charge from The Stuttering Foundation.

The poster is intended to give children and adults who stutter inspiration as they grapple with their speech disorder.

John Stossel

John Stossel is one of the most recognized and articulate reporters today. However, he once considered giving up his broadcasting career because of his stuttering.

“Fear of stuttering can easily become worse than the stuttering itself,” observed Stossel. “The idea that I’m on television and making speeches is still a shock to me sometimes.”

John Melendez

He is a talented musician, actor, and comedian. Melendez is pictured in the SFA's Famous People Who Stutter brochure. Listen to a podcast.

However, Ken faced no bigger obstacle than stuttering. Ken Venturi was a champion to those who stutter, going out of his way to share his personal experience when consulted by a colleague, friend, or child who stutters.

Mel Tillis

Country music star Mel Tillis has entertained audiences around the world. Mel still copes with stuttering, but it hasn't kept him from a highly successful career as an entertainer and recording artist
