#17 Dwarfism Doesn't Define Me, Fats Timbo

She's an activist and content creator with more than 2.9 million fans on TikTok where she teaches her followers about dwarfism or in her words, little people, with her trademark humour and warmth. Fats Timbo is a force to be reckoned with. But life wasn't always this way for her. In her teens she struggled with her condition and wanted to hide herself from the world. In this intimate conversation Fats opens up about the hard work she undertook to learn to love her body, how she took control back from the bullies and the inspirational path she walked down from not wanting to leave the house to standing proudly on the global stage as a role-model, advocate and ambassador for millions to see, follow and celebrate.

I loved this podcast with fats Timbo . She really is a lovely person and it angers me that people were mean to her , just because she was much shorter than them . Very well done, Rory .
