Nobody Told Me... Refusing Surgery As A Child Would Be The Best Thing I Ever Did

In today's episode, we're joined by the remarkable Sinead Burke. Sinead is a teacher, writer, broadcaster and campaigner, and is on a mission to change the fashion industry from within. Sinead, who has also spoken at The White House and The World Economic Forum, is a little person - the term she favours when referencing her achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism that means she has shorter-than-average limbs.Sinead grew up in a big, happy family in Dublin, Ireland. One of five children, who's parents taught her that she could do and be anything, and she took their message seriously. At just sixteen, Sinead was so frustrated by the exclusive nature of the fashion industry - an industry she loved and wanted to be a part of - that she began a popular blog, Minnie Mélange. She's used her platform to challenge the lack of inclusivity in the fashion and design industries ever since, and the world has listened.Sinead is a woman who wants everyone to be heard, everyone to be included, and everyone to feel important.
