Today’s guest is creative producer Jeremy Smith, who proudly enjoys being a fly buzzing in the face of those who need annoyance on equity and justice. 

Jeremy has a form of dwarfism called Achondroplasia, but it wasn't until his late thirties that he chose to fully embrace this difference and identify as a disabled person. Today we’ll be discussing his journey from avoidance to acceptance—and the role social media and fashion played in his self-discovery.   

Jeremy lives in Boorloo (Perth) and is a senior producer for Performing Lines in Western Australia, a production company that creates boundary-pushing performances with some of Australia’s best independent artists. 

Throughout his career, Jeremy has promoted artistic bravery, self-determination, and authentic representation. He has also brokered opportunities by supporting initiatives in remote regions and developing key arts and disability programs.
