I think it's really tough for the shift to happen... It's still this acceptable target for comedy and I can only imagine that it's because we look stupid, nothing more than just like your legs and arms are short and you waddle.
Imagine navigating life with a condition that makes you stand out in every crowd. That's the reality for Christophe Zajac-Denek, an actor, musician, podcaster, and stuntman who lives with dwarfism. In this episode of 'Choose Your Struggle', host Jay Shifman sits down with Christophe to talk about the ups and downs of his journey. From medical challenges to social stigmas, Christophe opens up about the obstacles he's faced and the victories he's achieved.
He doesn't just stop at sharing his story; he dives into how visibility and self-advocacy can drive change. Christophe's candidness is both eye-opening and inspiring, shedding light on issues many might not even realize exist. If you're interested in understanding more about living with dwarfism and how advocacy can make a difference, this conversation is a must-listen. It's not just about one man's story; it's about challenging ableism and uplifting underrepresented voices.
