In the premiere episode I sit down with Lydia Barber. Lydia and I became fast friends, practically sisters, in 2005 at an LPA convention in Orlando. We discuss what it means to be a little person in 2021 and how that definition has changed over time. We talk about our struggles and successes with making our world more accessible. We end our conversation by exploring the topics of weight, body image, and what a healthy little person looks like.

In this week's episode I am sitting down with Mackenzie Trush. Mackenzie is one a million, living with Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, an incredibly rare form of dwarfism. We discuss her diagnosis, how she makes her world accessible, and how she harnessed the power of social media to have her voice heard.
