What year were you born?! We couldn’t wait to do this trend because our newbies born in the 2000’s sure make us feel this old 😂🤍☠️

@cchar.leee have no idea where your video went was so sad 🫠

#whatyearwereyouborn #rollettesdance #wheelchairdance #2000babies #funnyvideos

We had such a great time at the @renaissancepleasurefaire !! I loved rolling around and seeing all the booths, shows & interactive exhibits. (The 🔪 throwing was pretty cathartic) @patrickivison hit his yearly max on honey samples. The accessibility was a little tough to navigate, so next time I think I would bring a power assist or power chair.

This weekend is the last weekend to go, so if you’re on the fence, now’s your chance! ❤️🎪

[Video Description]: clips from Joci’s day at the Renaissance Faire, an outdoor medieval times style festival.Joci, a Latina woman with dark curly hair, is wearing a beige dress with a red and gold corset and navigating in her manual wheelchair. Patrick, a white man with long dark blonde hair pulled out of his face, wears a burgundy peasant shirt and uses a power wheelchair. Farah, an Arabic woman with long dark hair, wears a white dress with a blue apron dress over top, and uses a manual wheelchair.

Solo day with me in NYC 🗽 one of my goals for the trip was to familiarize myself with the city and get comfortable being by myself. I had such a fun time rolling around and exploring and it gave me such a confidence boost to be able to navigate by myself.

Then @bainbridgejenna gave me and my mom such a wonderful night at @wicked_musical - she SHINES as Nessarose and i got so emotional seeing the character represented authentically on Broadway 🥹

#disabilityrepresentation #disabledactor #representationmatters #nyctrip #soloday

Thankful for an amazing week at @queenstheatre connecting with other disabled actors, taking masterclasses, and debuting original short plays featuring disabled characters or written by disabled writers. I learned so much about myself and the spectrum of disability as it relates to art and how we create.Such a great group of people and I will miss you all dearly! See you soon NY 🫶

a day in the big 🍎🖤

Don’t know why I can’t get no sleep 😴

Taking class from @cedricdodd_ and learning this combo was so much fun, we just had to share it with you 😉 thank you Cedric for being so accommodating in class and providing an inclusive space for all dancers!

Used to be Danika and Conner, now it’s Joci and Charlie 😂👀🫣🤭 looking at them from the back you really can’t tell which is which, what do you guys think? 👯‍♀️✨

Video Description: Joci and Charlie are both in their uniforms that are black and silver. They are facing each other and both mouthing the words to the song. The song says, ‘twin, where have you been? Nobody knows me like you do. Nobody gon’ love me quite like you can.’ They hug at the end and smile towards the camera. They both have black curly shoulder length hair.
