Rollettes - Instagram - Community Voices

“We want to reach all of the people who maybe can’t get out of bed and maybe feel alone; we want them to be able to open their computer and find a sense of community.” Chelsie H., founder of the Rollettes
Chelsie has always loved to dance. When a car accident paralyzed her from the waist down at age 17, a wheelchair didn't stop her from pursuing her passion. She started the Rollettes a wheelchair dance company with the goal of connecting and empowering women with disabilities around the world through dance. When COVID-19 forced everyone to socially distance, they kept their community thriving on Instagram through virtual dance classes and spreading their message of strength when we needed it most.
Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day, where we raise awareness of the 1B people in the world with disabilities and the need to make digital products accessible to all. #GAAD
