Paralyzed from the chest down since age two, Stoker has fought through overwhelming adversity. Despite often appearing on stages with limited accessibility, she been a trailblazer in an industry that has been slow to embrace disabled performers.

A humanitarian and advocate, Stroker is a co-chair of Women Who Care, which supports United Cerebral Palsy of New York City. She’s a founding member of Be More Heroic, an anti-bullying campaign that tours the country and connects with thousands of students each year.
