SLUGmag “Growing up as someone who stuttered severely,” says Moudi Sbeity, author of the new queer memoir Habibi Means Beloved, “writing was a way to express myself… In order to avoid stuttering on a word, I’d make sure I had ten words to substitute for each one. I paid attention to language and sound and how our words create our reality.”
