High Rollers is a Wheelchair Club founded by 3 spinal cord injured individuals who decided not to let the obstacles they face stop them. From experiencing a form of discrimination that goes on top of other things discriminated against, the Wheelchair equal rights is an unheard Equal Rights Movement of this millennium.  Like when Hip Hop began it wasn't about receiving a check and following the rules of people who didn't relate to your struggles. It was about taking your art and expressing them freely,communicating the issues you faced with are, a voice or a dance. Peace and Unity, words heard in my head from Afrika Bambaataa, is the driven force of High Rollers. Doing what we aspire and love while working and living our lives. We have enough social groups gathered around discussing why this one or that one wont give us a chance.  Well enough is enough, instead of waiting for the majortelevision networks, the fashion industry, corporate sponsorships to put more shows on TV for people with mental and physical challenges andletting it become discouraging. As a High Rollers member , you face your challenges, pursue your dreams and support others who are or need  your inspirations to show we all have purpose.

High Rollers isn't about , you can only be involved if you use a wheelchair. Many wheelchair users can't function daily without help of another individual. High Rollers is about that original movement that came out of Hip Hop, ''Unity''

Founding members are Professir X, Santina Muha and Damon Rozier. Back in 2007 during a PRO Convention in Atlanta, GA, Professir X met the PRO Committee and many other Motorcycle Club members and learned that what he saw in the media , wasn't about that.  Many MC raise money and awareness for many different causes. They hold Stop the Violence rallies and many are your local Police, teachers, doctors and students. But it can become a big family or a small team, nevertheless they live normal lives, work 9 to 5 and still adopt purpose. All these concepts is what made Professir X say, ''I'm going to start a Wheelchair Club''. Professir X aspires in Media Expression and Entertainment. Experiencing the sorry, your idea is a great cause but at this moment we're not interested in producing a show of yours at this time. Hearing that 15 times, Professir X decided to miss a few meals, stop buying so much clothes and going to casinos to go out and buy some camera equipment. Documenting his endeavors and those of people he met, he produced his own show that was accepted by local television in his area. He has also started 2 production companies with friends. PBU  Production and Gorilla Kings V.I.P. With his friends assistance he has also started a Nonprofit Organization called I Believe Inc. Continuing to just document and record his life and the lives of others, High Rollers is not just a club but a Video Show about the clubs start and purpose.
