E46: Rollettes, Theatre, and Exercise with Maria

Disabled Girls Who Lift

Marybeth and Marcia have a great conversation with Maria, founding member of Rollettes dance team, burlesque performer, fitness enthusiast, pole dancer, and theatre geek. Maria mentions how experience has shaped reaching her wellness goals as a wheelchair user, led her to drop out of college to pursue her passions, and brought her to build a meaningful community for disabled girls through the Rollettes. Mentioned in this episode: Rolletes Experience (rollettesdance.com), Shriner’s Hospital (lovetotherescue.org) Hosts for this episode: Marcia Darbouze (@thatdoc.marcia), Marybeth Baluyot (@merrbertt) A message from DGWL: We do our very best to ensure we are inclusive to all members of the community. Not very many podcasts consider the deaf and hard-of-hearing population, but we applaud those who do and challenge those who don’t. That said, we are looking for volunteers to help us transcribe future episodes--there are transcriptions available online for our current episodes--but we still need help! Please send us a message on our website--www.disabledgirlswholift.com--if you have transcribing experience and are interested in joining the crew!
