Join us for a public program of the Television Academy Foundation:
The Power of TV: Trans Visibility in Storytelling
While recent years have brought greater awareness and on-screen inclusion of transgender characters and storylines, the representation gap persists for trans individuals onscreen and behind the scenes. 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
Moderator
Nick Adams, Director, Transgender Representation, GLAAD
