Nina will talk about her second book which came out this August titled, “Stutterer Interrupted: The Comedian Who Almost Didn’t Happen.” Nina will share what it was like writing and editing her book as a person with learning disabilities and how she learned to find her voice and take up space unapologetically as a disabled woman.
