What’s Inside This Episode
In this episode, I’m joined by the inspiring founders of Brothers Helping Spellers—Alva Khai, William, & Hughie—alongside their communication regulation partner, Staci. Together, they walk us through the mission behind their nonprofit, their personal journeys as non-speaking spellers, and the impact of providing scholarships to non-speaking minorities.
