INSPIRE: Marc Winski is a professional actor/singer/motivational speaker in NYC and a person who stutters and is an Alumni of Indiana University.

As an actor, he is currently striving to give a voice and be an advocate for people who stutter in theatre/film/media/television.  Using a large TIKTOK following as a bigger platform, he continues creating content and spreading stuttering awareness with wit and creativity for the stuttering community, a group people who often go (quite literally) unheard and unseen in our culture. Marc has been seen on ABC’s 'What Would You DO?', ABC News, Good Morning America, DailyMail, Broadway National Tours, and Disney Cruise Lines. He is helping to give many more opportunities to show truthful representation and inclusivity in our world.
