30 year old Paulo has diastrophic dysplasia dwarfism. He drives a specially adapted car and works as a legal secretary. He even is aiming to run for mayor in his home town of Itapeva, Brazil.
He said, ‘Respect wasn’t conquered from one day to another. Respect was conquered through a lot of hard work.’
His partner on the other hand Katyucia is 26 year old and has achondroplasia dwarfism. She owns her very own successful beauty salon and it has been specially adapted for her height.
She said, ‘It was a dream I had, a very long time ago. But because of how my life happened I didn’t get the opportunity. We adapted my gurney, we adapted everything that needed to be adapted and then I really started working in that area.’
