After avoiding speaking at all costs for over two decades, Joze Piranian, who has a severe stutter, decides to confront his fears and make peace with the past by holding the conversations he never dared to have before.
Join us for a rescreening of Josiane Blanc’s superb documentary on Joze’s journey — first shown at last year’s conference. Whether you missed it the first time or want to experience it again, this is a chance to see his inspiring story on the big screen. Joze will be there in person to answer your questions following the screening!
It is intended that this documentary will inspire and encourage those who stutter, their parents and their allies.
About the presenters
Joze Piranian
Born and raised in Lebanon, Joze avoided speaking for more than 25 years out of the fear of being judged for being a person who stutters. Over the past few years, everything changed. Jose has won multiple public speaking competitions, delivered several TEDx talks, and performed stand-up comedy in North America, Europe, and the Middle East in English, French, Spanish, and Arabic. Joze has since delivered hundreds of stand-up comedy and speaking engagements at the United Nations, Google, Boeing, Tesla, Meta, TikTok, and IBM, as well at schools and conferences internationally. He has been featured in Forbes, TED, ABC, Fox, NowThis (where he was interviewed about the public perception of Joe Biden’s stutter during the elections), Ashton Kutcher’s “A Plus”, and John Krasinski’s “Some Good News.
