Amit Dodani’s speech impediment made his early school years tough. Comments from peers and faculty chipped away at his self image. Despite being picked on, Dodani joined the debate team in middle school and found the confidence to overcome it all. Soon, his biggest weakness became his greatest strength.
After witnessing anti-bullying efforts fail at his high school, the 14 year-old California student started My Name My Story—a social enterprise with the mission of teaching empathy to young people. Now, at age 16, he is dedicated to helping individuals tell their stories. Join the TLU community on Sunday, April 6, at 4 p.m. in Wupperman when Dodani will share his story and take questions from the audience.
