ROLLETTES EXPERIENCE PLANNING TEAM

I started the Rollettes Experience because I needed it and it didn't exist. After becoming paralyzed at 17, I felt alone, isolated and confused. In 2012, I took a chance and invited 6 girls I found on social media to come to my hometown of Monterey, California. They all said yes. It was just an idea back then, but that weekend proved to me that if I needed community, so did other people. It also proved that my dream, a bunch of women in wheelchairs, dancing - was possible. What started as six strangers saying yes has grown into the world's largest women's empowerment event for women with disabilities. It was never just about dance. It was always about showing up, taking up space, and proving that our lives are full, powerful, and worth celebrating….together.

Joe has been working with Chelsie and the Rollettes team as manager since 2016 and associate producer of Rollettes experience since 2018. With an extensive career in dance performance and creative directing, Joe now also executive produces Boundless Talent Showcase and a significant role in the planning and execution of RE and it's events.

Bria started working for Rollettes in 2015 when Rollettes Experience was just 12 girls all piled up in Chelsie's 1 bedroom apartment. Over the years, she has had an substantial role in developing the event and making it what it is today as an associate producer of Rollettes Experience.

After sustaining a SCI in 2016, everything changed when I discovered Chelsie through Push Girls and fundraised my way to my first Rollettes Experience in 2018. Being surrounded by women who truly understood my journey was life-changing, and since then I've attended every event, graduating from the first Boundless Babe Society class, serving as an RE Ambassador, becoming Head Ambassador, and now stepping into my role as the 2026 Outreach Coordinator. Today, I help support attendees, answer questions, manage event data, and assist with planning Rollettes Experience. What started as a dream to attend has become the honor of helping create that same magic for others.
