In this episode of Diversity Dialogues, a production of the New York State Unified Court System's Office of Diversity and Inclusion and the Amici podcast program, we're going to pull back the curtain and try to see the world from a different set of eyes.

We are going to explore how this world looks from the perspective of a little person, learn a little bit about the condition called “dwarfism,” and have a frank discussion about the challenges those with that condition encounter every day in our society.

Our guest is the Hon. Sarika Kapoor, a judge in Nassau County who stands all of three foot, eight inches tall. Judge Kapoor is believed to be the first little person ever to serve in the New York State Judiciary.
