Accessibility designers and researchers, individuals with disabilities or friends or family members with disabilities, or readers simply wishing to better understand life with disability will enjoy Roll with Cole and Charisma. This YouTube channel, run by interabled and interracial couple Cole Sydnor and Charisma Jamison, covers the day-to-day highs and lows of life with a wheelchair. Sydnor, who is a wheelchair user, and Jamison, who is not, make videos about their experiences with adventure and travel, dating and intimacy, daily routines, and perceptions of their relationship and lives. They also generously answer many, many questions with honesty and grace and review the accessibility (in their case, wheelchair-friendliness) of various locations, such as shopping malls, restaurants, various cities, and even Disney World. Though the experiences highlighted in their videos are not always happy, Roll with Cole and Charisma raises awareness on accessibility and inclusion with shining positivity.
