In this week’s episode, hosts Tre’vell Anderson and Shar Jossell sit down with special guest Trace Lysette, star of the critically acclaimed film Monica, as she shares her experience with the outpouring of love she’s received from audiences of the film, and what it may take for Hollywood to make more films centering trans characters. But first, we discuss cross - dressing characters in film and television, and how they’re oftentimes played by cishet men, like Tyler Perry or Martin Lawrence, who are able to profit greatly off of these character tropes; Later we hear from members of the Unique Woman’s Coalition on the their most memorable moments in trans visibility growing up.
