Danielle Webb

My name is Danielle Webb, I’m 24, and I was born with a condition called Achondroplasia- my condition means that at 24- Im 3ft11 tall- half the size of my peers- but it’s not something I’ve ever tried to let stop me, if anything I’d say my condition has shaped a huge part of my passion and the successes I’ve had in recent years. In 2021, I published my first children’s book- Mummy, there’s a new girl. In recent years I’ve also written for Cosmopolitan magazine and featured in fabulous summer body campaign. I recently graduated with an MA degree for Working for children and young people- and in February of this year was appointed Vice Chair for Little People UK- a charity which aims to provide support for people with dwarfism and their families. Through my multiple roles a common passion is to help young people achieve potential- especially when it comes to the arts. As a dancer who had a disability- I was always provided with barriers more often than not systematic ones- but I believe the power to express and create lies within everyone and putting our differences aside- if you have a dream, both size and society shouldn’t stop you.
