Dahlia is the first-ever Little Miss Wheelchair America and a passionate advocate for accessibility, inclusion, and adaptive recreation. Diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy shortly after her second birthday, she has continually redefined what strength, leadership, and resilience look like. From adaptive sports and community events to public advocacy and representation, Dahlia uses her platform, "Learn. Play. Grow.," to help create a world where individuals of all abilities can learn together, play together, and thrive together.

After being crowned Little Miss Wheelchair Michigan in 2025, Dahlia was invited to become the inaugural Little Miss Wheelchair America, a historic role that allows her to amplify disability voices on a national level. Through her advocacy, she promotes accessibility, inclusion, and the belief that disability is not a limitation but a valuable perspective that strengthens communities.

Miss Wheelchair America is a national leadership and advocacy organization dedicated to empowering women and girls who use wheelchairs. Through mentorship, representation, education, and community engagement, the organization helps cultivate future leaders while challenging misconceptions about disability. JJP is proud to support and highlight Dahlia's journey as she continues to inspire others and create meaningful change within the disability community.
