The photo shows 13 year old Brayden Harrington from Canada. Brayden has a stutter yet here he is talking on the BBC about his journey. He says he was helped by President elect Joe Biden, who also has a stutter. Joe Biden is about become American president.

Watch the video in the link above; Brayden talks about talking with others who stutter, and they say they would never believe that someone who stutters would make it this far as president.

In January Joe Biden will be giving his inauguration speech in front of millions of people. Brayden gives the president advice on his speech; “If he gets a block or if he has a little moment then he just needs to do what he does best and go through it, and we’re all just rooting for you.”
