This week marks a year of Always Looking Up, and what a year it has been. Over the past 365 days I have been able to talk to the most amazing people who empower me on a daily basis and for that I am forever grateful to those who came on to share their story. To celebrate this milestone I invited back someone I have always looked up to, one of my first ever guests, Rebecca Cokley. Rebecca is currently serving as a program officer in the President’s Office of the Ford Foundation, developing the U.S. disability rights program strategy. We re-examine what it means to us to be a little person, discuss why it is so important to know and preserve our history, and contemplate how the definition of being a little person will evolve in the years to come.
