"From Client to Leader: Rene Rojo on Advocacy, Community Impact & Using Your Voice"
In this episode of Walk and Roll Live, we sit down with Riverside advocate Rene Rojo, whose journey is a powerful example of turning lived experience into meaningful change.
From his early days growing up in Riverside to studying public speaking and communications, Rene discovered the power of his voice — and he’s been using it ever since.
As a long-time representative and Board of Trustees member with Inland Regional Center, Rene brings a unique and essential perspective: he serves not only as a leader, but also as a client. For over 14 years, he has helped shape programs, advocate for resources, and push for improvements that directly impact individuals with disabilities and their families.
But his work doesn’t stop there.
Rene is deeply rooted in the community — organizing autism awareness events, suicide prevention initiatives, toy drives, car shows, and more — all driven by a passion to give back and uplift others.
In this conversation, we explore:
The importance of representation in leadership
Turning challenges into purpose
Building stronger communities through service
And why using your voice can change lives
This is a story about impact, heart, and the power of showing up for others. Walk and Roll Live

"From Surviving to Thriving: Lera Alexandrova’s Journey of Overcoming Change"
On this episode of Walk and Roll Live – Disability Stories, Doug and Addie sit down with Lera Alexandrova, founder of Overcoming Change, to talk about resilience, motherhood, and finding purpose after life-altering challenges.
Lera’s story began with a devastating childhood accident that led to multiple surgeries and years of recovery. For much of her life she pushed forward, building a career, raising two children, and living actively. But after another major surgery in 2019, Lera’s life changed dramatically when she transitioned to using a wheelchair full time.
Rather than letting those challenges define her limits, Lera transformed her experience into a mission — helping others navigate disability, independence, and self-confidence through her platform, Overcoming Change.
In this honest conversation, we talk about:
Growing up after a serious childhood injury
Navigating life as a single mother while facing major health challenges
The emotional and physical transition to life in a wheelchair
Finding community and purpose through advocacy
Helping others in the disability community live fully and confidently
Lera’s story is one of resilience, determination, and redefining what’s possible. Walk and Roll Live
