At just 14 years old, Lolo was diagnosed with a neuromuscular condition and given five years to live, a moment that could have ended her story before it ever truly began. Instead, she made a life-altering decision to live fully, visibly, and without apology. More than two decades later, she has built a career and platform that challenges expectations, redefines possibility, and proves that adversity does not get the final say.

Now 37, Lolo is a Film Independent Spirit Award-nominated actress, cultural strategist, disability advocate, lifestyle content creator, and public speaker who sits at the intersection of disability, style, and social living. She made her acting debut as ‘Tracy’ in the award-winning film Give Me Liberty, which premiered at Sundance and earned her an Indie Spirit nomination. She has since captivated audiences as ‘Jocelyn’ on Max’s The Sex Lives of College Girls, appears as ‘Jazmyn “Jazzy” Jones’ on Disney Jr.’s Firebuds, and stars alongside Barbie Ferreira and John Leguizamo in Bob Trevino Likes It, a film inspired by a true friendship that won both the Narrative Feature Jury Award and the Audience Award at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival before its theatrical release in 2025.

For over a decade, Lolo has built one of the most authentic platforms in the disability lifestyle space, creating content and conversations that shift how the world sees and engages the disability community. She has partnered with leading brands including Tommy Hilfiger Adaptive, Adidas, Zappos Adaptive, Anthropologie, and Meta, bringing cultural credibility and real audience connection to every collaboration while helping organizations better understand an often overlooked but powerful audience.

As a speaker, she has taken the stage at Cannes Lions, VidCon, SeriesFest, The Estée Lauder Companies, and Amazon, delivering talks that are equal parts candid, funny, and transformative. Her message is clear: people who have been historically overlooked are not only consumers, but also creators and culture drivers who deserve to be designed for, marketed to, and invested in. Drawing from her lived experience navigating and challenging systemic barriers, she pushes audiences to think differently about access, representation, and what it truly means to build spaces where everyone can belong.

She is the author of Access Your Drive and Enjoy the Ride: A Guide on Achieving Your Dreams From a Person With a Disability and was named one of InStyle’s 50 Women Making the World a Better Place. Lolo has been featured in CNN, The Washington Post, Essence, HuffPost, Refinery29, Deadline, and FASHION Magazine, among others. Her advocacy has earned her the Christopher Reeve Acting Scholarship, further recognizing her impact across entertainment and disability representation.

Lolo does not show up to check a box. She shows up because she refuses to disappear, empowering others to take up space, own their story, and live boldly on their own terms. Read Less ^
