'Tracy's character is not about her disability, she just so happens to be a wheelchair user.' Actress and YouTube influencer Lauren 'Lolo' Spencer on her breakout role in 'Give Me Liberty'
Your life changed in a major way when you were 14. What happened?
I was in the kitchen, and my mom told my siblings and I to make our plates for dinner. I reached up in the top cupboard, and my entire arm dropped to the counter, and it was very strange because I didn't drop the plate — I still had a grip on the plate — but my arm had just dropped out of nowhere. I didn't know what to make of it, and my next memory after that moment was starting to go from doctor to doctor, over and over again, trying to figure out what happened.
You are now a very specific type of influencer as a disability lifestyle influencer. You got a big following pretty quickly. You had no plans of an acting career, and what happened? Because of the buzz that I was getting on my YouTube channel, I had a good friend who I deem as my mentor, she's also my stylist. Her name is Miss Stephanie Thomas. She's been a disability fashion styling expert for over 20 years. She recommended that I get an agent because she was seeing what was happening on my YouTube and how people were responding to me on social media.
