Adult women don't want 'Daddy's little princess' written on their T-shirts

Access All: Disability News and Mental Health

Available for over a year

Sinead Burke is all about fashion and equality and in September appeared on the front cover of British Vogue. At three and a half feet tall, she describes herself as a "little person". Find out what happens when you are too short to be able to reach up and lock the toilet door behind you? Or what if the most fashionable choice of clothes you have are in the children's department and have "Daddy's Little Princess" written on them? In this month's Ouch podcast from the Âé¶¹Éç, Sinead explains how she has used people's interest in fashion to shine a light on inclusive design in public spaces, equality and how it has led to other opportunities and the launch of her own podcast. One of the hosts of our programme, Simon Minty, is also a little person which lets us dive deep into areas most interviewers wouldnt' think to ask which also brings plenty of wicked humour. With Kate Monaghan and Simon Minty Ouch is on Âé¶¹Éç Sounds and available on your smart speaker by yelling "ask the Âé¶¹Éç for Ouch".
