[MINISODE] Jo Berry, binabago ang pagtingin sa “little people”

Ngayong Dwarfism Awareness Month, balikan natin ang convo kasama si Jo kung saan ikinuwento niya ang mga hamon sa kanya bilang “little person” at kung paano niya binago ang pagtingin ng mga tao sa tulong ng mga ginampanan niyang roles.
