Early Life

Details about her parents and siblings are private, though her mother was a fierce advocate during her health challenges. At 14, Lolo began experiencing muscle weakness and was initially diagnosed with ALS, given five years to live.

Later tests suggested a possible misdiagnosis, and she now identifies as having a neuromuscular mobility disability or muscular dystrophy, using a wheelchair for mobility.

Education

Lolo attended high school in Stockton, California, where she used leg braces before transitioning to a wheelchair. She graduated from California State University, Northridge, with a Bachelor of Arts in TV Production, with a focus on video editing.

Career

Lolo began her career in video editing, working as a freelancer and later in marketing at a film distribution company. After a boss threatened her job, she launched her YouTube channel, Sitting Pretty, in 2015 to share her life as a wheelchair user, covering fashion, dating, and accessibility.

Her vlogs gained nearly 15,000 subscribers and led to modelling for Tommy Hilfiger Adaptive, Zappos Adaptive, and Lady Footlocker. In 2019, she debuted as Tracy in Give Me Liberty, a Sundance hit, earning a Film Independent Spirit Award nomination as the first African-American disabled female lead.

She played Jocelyn in The Sex Lives of College Girls (2021–2024), a fan-favourite role, and voiced Jazzy Jones in Disney Jr.’s Firebuds (2022–2024). Lolo appeared as Ella in NCIS: Los Angeles (2022), Dina in With Love (2023), and Venus in Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical (2023).

In 2024, she starred as Daphne in Bob Trevino Likes It, winning SXSW’s Jury and Audience Awards. She authored Access Your Drive and Enjoy the Ride (2023), a guide for people with disabilities, and founded Live Solo, a lifestyle brand for young disabled adults. Lolo’s a proud American advocating for inclusion in entertainment.
