Main Character Energy with Fats Timbo

Gaby Roslin

Available for over a year

Born with Achondroplasia, Fats Timbo entered a world which does not accept those outside of its expectations. Fats had to develop her super-power, her fearlessness, in the face of rejection and criticism. Her first book aims to show girls and women not to fear what others think; to revel in your ability to subvert expectations. Fats joins Gaby to talk about how her life experiences so far led her to write her debut book.
