“I had glasses, braces, and I was considered ‘husky’ – which was a polite way of saying overweight back in the day. And on top of that, I stuttered.” Lionel says that among his stuttering triggers was the letter ‘L’.
“The double ‘L’ in the middle of my given name, Michael Lebron, was just too difficult to pronounce, so I used tricks to say my own name. Sometimes I’d do funny voices, or pretend I was imitating someone famous. Other times I’d add a syllable, like an ‘ah’ between my first and last name,” added Lionel.
