doing. It definitely looked really, really dope. It looks like an amazing resource. I think there’s definitely some synergy between Live Solo and abilityE to maybe do a future collaboration and figure out how we can work together to make something happen. I’m definitely open to something like that.
Goga: That’d be great. We have the same goals of giv- ing people information and access to various resources.
Spencer: Yeah, absolutely!
Goga: That’s great. And that’s how Sammi Haney was discovered for the voice role of “Piper” in “Firebuds.”
Spencer: Oh, really?
Goga: Yeah. I know you voice the character of “Jazzy” on the show, and Sammi voices your character’s talking wheelchair, “Piper,” right? Sammi’s parents put her profile on the abilityE website. Disney contacted us dur- ing COVID looking for a young actress who used a wheelchair. Our abilityE team was able to provide Dis- ney with several actresses who met their casting profile. Sammi was one of them, and of course she did the rest with her audition. But Disney found Sammi through abilityE.
Spencer: I love that! I love Sammi, too. I haven’t gotten a chance to meet her in person, but I’ve been following
her career ever since she was on “Raising Dion,” and we follow each other on social media.
Goga: I guess that makes sense you two have not met in person. Since voiceover work is done individually— you’re not in the same room or anything.
Spencer: Oh, no, we’re definitely not! (laughs)
Goga: Sammi said she wants to meet you in person. But it’s cool you two can connect on social media at least.
Spencer: Yeah, she’s a sweetheart. She’s so cute. I just love her
Goga: Well, it sure was fun talking to you, Lolo! Spencer: Oh, you made it easy with great questions!
Goga: Thank you so much for making time for me and all the best to you. Hopefully we’ll come up with a way abilityE and Live Solo can work together to help even more people.
Spencer: I would love that.
