10 days till Rollettes Experience! I can’t wait to see everyone! Did you know that when the @rollettes_la lets a team member go to venture on to other things Big things happen! This year we have an original teammate @alistroker coming back home for the first time since 2018
When Ali left she became the first Boundless Babe to grace a Broadway stage in 2015 in spring awakening and in 2019 she became a Tony Winner for her role in Oklahoma! The night of her win was a big win for the disability community, we began to feel like we would be taken seriously in any endeavor we undertook
Broadway and the world have a long way to go, In terms of giving our community our equal rights because accessibility doesn’t exist the way that it should.
I look forward to connecting with Ali and finding out her thoughts on the next steps to change and inclusivity
Do you remember when I said that I had an unspoken prayer request back in February? I wrote that post on the day I had an interview with the executive director of @frankdlantermanrc. She came to my home to speak to me about possibly joining the board of directors. During our conversation I accepted the role unofficially and filled out an application for the position. Yesterday I received my acceptance letter in the mail officially welcoming me to the board!
My two year appointment begins on July 24th.. One year ago I was at Rollettes Experience and I got a voicemail saying that my service coordinator recommended me for a self advocacy group and my life has never been the same since!
Living with a disability is a rollercoaster of emotions and self acceptance is not a linear journey. Community is the thing that makes the journey easier.
I hope that through my experience I can represent my community well. I can truly say that what I thought made me weird has now become my strength. Thank you God for this opportunity
If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be?
If I could wear only one outfit, it would be a pair of jeans and a Rollettes or boundless babe T-shirt
How do you practice self-care
My Self care lately has been remembering to drink water. It’s not the best habit that I have and I need to get better at it

Do you remember life before the internet?
Yes, I do. I remember getting my first email address when I was in tenth grade. I took a computer class, and in that class, we learned how to send emails and create storyboards digitally
