Born with dwarfism, Becky Curran has made it her life’s mission to represent her community and advocate for many others dealing with disabilities. There are only 65,000 little people in the United States; there are over 300 types of dwarfism. Unfortunately, little people are faced with a combination of negative perceptions built by the media and often find themselves living apart from the general population. Becky seeks to change all that by showcasing her own achievements in the show business industry. She spent several years working in the Equity and Inclusion department at the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists ( SAG-AFTRA) and currently serves as Employment Chair of Little People of America. As a motivational speaker and advocate for inclusion, Becky strives to teach acceptance while educating and motivating all people to establish goals and work hard to accomplish them.
