From non-verbal to loquacious, living or legendary, everyone has something vital to say which adds to the richness of our lives in myriad ways.

In this short read, you will meet different examples of being speechless: A beauty pageant family that doesn’t accept alternate life choices; an introvert that became a Toastmaster; a poker player who turned pain into healing, two men who chose to die before their voices faded, bring tissue: a story about Dying With Dignity via MAID, a man who mysteriously disappeared two weeks before his third documentary premiered and a daughter’s love/hate story that inspired her to create a legacy of better communication with her children.
