The Power of TV: Trans Visibility in Storytelling

We'll explore the pathways and roadblocks to expanding storytelling and visibility of trans individuals and communities in a lively conversation with:

  • Alexandra Billings, Actress, Transparent

  • Steven Canals, Executive Producer, Pose

  • Alex Blue Davis, Actor, Grey's Anatomy

  • Brian Michael Smith, Actor, Queen Sugar, The L Word: Generation Q

  • Lilly Wachowski
