My name is Joanna. I have a speech disorder called Speech Apraxia. Apraxia is a speech sound disorder where one has trouble saying
words correctly. The brain knows what it wants to say, but cannot say the sounds properly. I am educating people on what it's like living with Speech Apraxia or any disability, but I am focusing on my disability the most.

I can’t believe Mocha is one year old already! I can’t believe she isn’t considered a puppy anymore! I have my best friend help me with filming for me and I appreciate the time she spent with me helping me even though my best friend has a family of her own. We laughed at Mocha’s opening the gifts I got for her, we laughed because Mocha was truly living her best life on that day!

I can’t say I will film a video every single year for Mocha’s birthday because that was too expensive for a dog!


This video will be available at4:00 my time to watch and give tons of laughs and smiles.
