It’s been over 7 years since I wrote the 13 Must-Follow People with Dwarfism in 2018. I thought it was high time to pull another list together so you can see the fantastic work being achieved by the community. It has been wonderful to see so many more people with Dwarfism being platformed and more importantly taking up space in the mainstream.
I’ve ordered the list by country and I hope you’ll agree on the fantastic breadth of talent that the Dwarfism community has! Please give these wonderful people a follow!
To commemorate Dwarfism Awareness Month, here’s a list of 36 People with Dwarfism to follow in 2025:

A Magnificant List of Talent – Who Else Shall I Add?
It has been a joy to pull this list of people from the Dwarfism community who are doing amazing things in the world. It also made me feel quite whistful. This list is more than double since that first one in 2018. I think it’s testament to the hard work of people in the community (and our allies), who have consistently platformed our lived experiences, the challenges we continue to face and more importantly take space, unapologetically in the world. I can’t wait to see what the list will look like in the future!
If there’s anyone you would love to be included, get in touch and let me know!
