Shownotes

In this episode of the Extra Mile, Carol Jordan sits down with Melanie Grimsley, who has lived with a visible difference for most of her life and now sees her portrait hanging in the National Portrait Gallery — a moment that brings personal recognition and a shift in how society views beauty and resilience, as she finds herself being stared at in a very different light.
