Two young women, One from Ireland and one from Los Angeles, cross paths on social media. After years of mutual admiration from afar, now experienced and admired women in their careers, they are able to meet for the first time in person on stage to talk about the things that bind them across oceans and time zones. Both are passionate for their fields of fashion and entertainment—both are leaders in the movements for inclusivity therein—and both of them happen to be Little People. American Actress, Performer and Entrepreneur, Katrina Kemp, will be interviewing Sinéad Burke, Irish Educator, Lecturer (and most recently the first Little Person on the cover of British Vogue Magazine) on the eve of Burke launching her newest project—a podcast entitled “As Me With Sinéad.

Sinéad Burke is an academic, teacher, writer and advocate. Sinéad works towards accelerating systemic change within the domains of diversity, education, inclusion, design and disability. She consults within the fashion, architecture, technology and design industries to ensure that spaces and products are accessible to all. Sinéad is responsible for the introduction of the term for little person, ‘duine beag’, into the Irish language. Sinéad is a Contributing Editor for British Vogue, she was the first little person to attend the Met Gala. She writes for the Financial Times, Teen Vogue and the New York Times and in October this year, will begin a new podcast with Lemonada Media called “As Me with Sinéad”. She is one of the coverstars of the Forces for Change September issue of British Vogue (co-edited by HRH The Duchess of Sussex) and the Business of Fashion’s Age of Influence print issue. She is a member of the BoF500 and according to British Vogue, Sinéad is one of the 25 most influential women working in Britain and Ireland. Finally, by appointment of President Michael D. Higgins, Sinéad is a member of Ireland’s Council of State.

Katrina Kemp is a Los Angeles native who grew up to be a pop-culture-obsessed nerd. Having a passion and curiosity for multiples sides of the entertainment industry, she made her professional debut embodying Chucky the Killer Doll at Universal Studios Hollywood while attending California State University Northridge as a freshman studying Film, Photography and Television Production. With a rare form of dwarfism making Kemp only three feet and six inches tall, she learned very quickly she would have to be her own mover in the business. She decided to look for opportunities that suited her passions, and become inspired by and only work for people that allowed her to work with integrity and against exploitation. This began her quest of becoming a voice in the inclusivity movement for Little People in the media.
