Ezra sits down with Karli Marx (aka E) for a candid conversation about their journey growing up with a stutter and discovering their queerness, and navigating both experiences feeling unseen even eventually within LGBTQ or stuttering communities. They dive into the formation of Karli, Balitmore's stuttering drag performer, hosting their own shows, and how these experiences bleed into building confidence in the rest of their life. Really beautiful story.
