Minnie Mélange/Sinéad Burke

This week Roisin meets Sinead Burke, who also goes by the alias Minnie Melange when competing in (and winning) the Alternative Miss Ireland contest. Sinead is a primary school teacher, phd student in education and fashion blogger, and in her Extraordinary Women series she has interviewed a series of inspirational people. She tells Roisin about how being a little person has not hindered her life and they discuss whether her unusual height has given her a special understanding of other minorities.
