![]() It’s still me, Imara, but I’m coming to you in the middle of this program with a really important message about a vital effort that we’re undertaking this month at TransLash. Imara: But before we get to that interview where we actually pull back the curtain on some really important realities, let’s celebrate some trans joy. And so, we’ll talk to Angelica about what it’s like to embody this character night after night and what playing this role has meant for her, and what she thinks it means for our community.Īngelica Ross: You know, I was being told, “Girl, I mean, as a trans woman, that’s about as good as you can get,” and I had the audacity to feel like I wanted more. So, it was an absolute treat for me recently to be able to go see Angelica Ross and her amazing role as Roxie on Broadway, actually, the first trans person to play a lead role in a major legacy musical. It’s the time when so many of us growing up had the ability to be able to transform our gender, or even as we were getting older, to be able to embody different versions of ourselves to see what felt right, the ability to be able to be ourselves fully without anyone questioning it.Īnd there’s nothing that embodies all of that like Broadway, which is sort of Halloween, every single night. ![]() And this is generally a really important time of the year for trans people. ![]() Well, we are in the midst of Halloween, that season where everyone is dressing up and trick-or-treating and doing all things related to horror and things that are scary, and also a lot of parties. Welcome to the TransLash Podcast, a show where we tell trans stories to save trans lives.
