(As if she never thought about slowing down and breathing in her over thirty years of stuttering!) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Nina started comedy nearly ten years ago, she was the only woman in the world of stand-up who stuttered--not a surprise, since men outnumber women four to one amongst those who stutter and comedy is a male-dominated profession. Nina's brand of comedy reflects the experience of many people with disabilities in that the problem with disability isn't in the person with it but in a society that isn't always accessible or inclusive.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNina G is a comedian, professional speaker and Disability advocate. She travels the country performing at comedy clubs and colleges and keynoting at conferences. She is part of the comedy troupe The Comedians with Disabilities Act, which brings laughter and awareness to audiences of all ages across the country. Nina lives in Oakland with her husband, Ethan who is a comedian and educator. Since comedians should never quit their day job, she also works as a counselor for students with disabilities at a California Community College, which she loves almost as much as stand-up comedy. She has contributed to numerous books on stuttering and disability studies, including her own children's book, \u003ci\u003eOnce Upon an Accommodation: A Book About Learning Disabilities\u003c\/i\u003e.
