Goodbye 👋🏾 X! I haven’t been here much lately and have realized it’s time to let go of this platform. Keeping the account cuz…scammers scam, but I’ll be on IG, LinkedIn, and YoutTube building community with people who believe we can ALL WIN!
Thank you
@RobertsEmma
for calling and apologizing, recognizing your behavior was not that of an ally. I will leave the line open to follow up on your desire to do better and support social justice causes with your platform.
Two Black models were found dead inside their Downtown, Los Angeles luxury apartments within three miles of each other, in one week.
The family believes these two deaths are connected and there is a predator/serial killer on the loose in Los Angeles.
I was under a 7 year contract with FX in what they call “first position”. As a series regular, I could not work anywhere else without getting network approval. While working on AHS season 10 I was told I would be returning to Season 11 and was put on hold for several months.…
I wish folks truly understood our community. They watch Pose and still get it twisted. Our language is stolen by folks who don’t even know what it truly means. When we say “FEEL IT”. It’s not just the emoting, it’s also the audacity. To be Black, queer, trans and unbridled in…
I will get my discharge restored to honorable next year. I heard they are finally addressing the way “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” terrorized many of us who were willing and able to serve our country. Still I am Veteran and salute everyone who has served! Happy

This should be illegal. If you switch political parties anytime during your current term you should have to resign and run another campaign race under your new party. And this isn’t the first time this has happened.
This really is heartbreaking. Like I legit am so upset for him. ☹️☹️ i hope this pops up in Beyoncé’s camp somehow and even the smallest gesture could make his day.

YEARS ago, a Black trans woman taught me an extremely valuable lesson. She was known for being extremely radical with her approach in handling white people and white supremacy. We got into an argument over it one day. And she told me then… “Sister, at the end of the day YOU…
For the folks who haven’t put it together yet, I’m “leaving Hollywood”. There are multiple articles that will be coming out detailing this. So I suggest you and your faves play nice, cuz I’m a Black trans woman with nothing to lose. Candy was born from my body. IYKYK. IYDYD.
Gay Whites: Many of you are blinded by Pete Buttigieg’s gayness that you’re not listening to black & brown folks from your own community who can name tons of reasons why he is not the one. Him being gay is NOT his greatest challenge in this race. Pete is a Republican.
TWENTY...20...TWO ZERO...
But y’all still wanna step in the name of love??? The pied piper??? All them songs were made about raping kids. If ever I catch my self singing a R Kelly lyric I IMMEDIATELY STOP & REPENT! Fuck that motherfucker, lock him up & throw away the key!
The trans girls are going to show Jess a new way to bleed. We call it reading for BLOOD. And I PROMISE you girls don’t want no part of this. I been trying to keep the gurls calm but it’s only so much I can do 😂
Let me make something absolutely clear. I appreciate the support but please do not joke about violence towards Emma. Joke about her being held accountable. Now THATs funny 😆
Not only did I vote this morning, but I actually OPENED the polls this morning. The volunteer staff didn’t know how to. I trained them on how to program the voter cards, open the polls, and turn on the printers 🤦🏾♀️

Will also tell you about the transphobic remarks my co-star said to my face, and the racism I complained about on set that they said was “free speech”. We on strike so you know I got time this week.
Being anti-trans won’t free you from patriarchy or racism. How small of you to be seduced by the opportunity to oppress others for a taste of power while remaining powerless in your own life.
It’s been 2 months since I started dating this guy I met on
@hinge
. Our chemistry feels aligned 🔐. He’s an active father, great listener, not to mention a 6’5” fine ass Black man, and an MVP on his basketball team. I never think “where is this going” cuz he shows and tells me…
Walking the halls of Congress & speaking to
@repjohnlewis
was a moment I will NEVER forget. He took his time & spoke into me affirmations and Power! With conviction he told me his vision for liberation includes trans people. I absolutely am because of YOU!

The funniest part? We’re all sitting around & I’m copying Cody’s accent. Didn’t know he had one. Emma then copies my voice & laugh and drops it several octaves. I was SHOOK. She read me for blood with my own words 😂 of course I was self conscious about my voice on set after…
So...I’m being considered for an Emmy this year for my performance as Candy Ferocity in Season 2 of
#PoseFX
. I’m not gonna lie. I want to manifest this nomination so bad. Will you help me? When the time comes tell the voters how much you loved Candy 🍭

The moment
@Beyonce
appeared on stage in a pink rhinestoned vail, dress & kimono gloves I started weeping. Cried thru the entire ballad portion of the concert. I’m not even going to share on here the rest of my experience, but all I’ll say is I feel seen by Beyoncé.…
Love the folks talking about me looking for 15min of fame. GURL! My first Emmy nomination was in 2016! 😂
I’m a globally recognized human rights advocate. I don’t need fame honey. Y’all can keep that.
I am so ANGRY.
ANGRY that I’m just finding out about

I’m ANGRY that police with all the firearms and weapons are allowed to fear our black skin as if it were a bomb about to detonate.
FUCK THE POLICE!
A lot of cis het folks will NEVER have the courage LGBTQ+ folks have. If you homophobic & transphobic BE THAT. With your whole chest. And let us choose to not support YOU & instead support LGBTQ+ folks. You scared of losing a bag? WE’VE LOST PLENTY OF BAGS FOR BEING LGBTQ+.
Is Pete all that “openly gay” when white people mistakenly vote for him cause they didn’t know that? Yes of course it’s public knowledge but we all know Pete is selling a respectable type of gay that in the end does us no favors, especially us black lgbtq folks, sex workers, etc
Pete’s rise *is* remarkable. I know some of you don’t care or don’t think it counts, but history will see it as a rather monumental step forward for the perception of how far an openly gay man can connect on a national level. You don’t have to vote for him to acknowledge that.
THIS IS NOT NORMAL.
THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
THIS IS NOT RIGHT.
AND YOU KNOW IT.
RESIST, REBEL, DIVEST FROM SYSTEMS OF WHITE SUPREMACY.
INVEST IN BLACK LIBERATION.
WE ARE NOT FREE YET.

Today, we honor the memory of lives lost in acts of anti-trans violence. In 2019, at least 22 trans people have been killed, the majority of them Black trans women. This is an epidemic- it's up to each of us to speak out.

Story time…I actually met DaB*by earlier this year. Flew home to ATL and had his gaze stuck on me as I walked towards him because he was standing next to my limo driver. He looked at the sign, then back at me, “Miss Ross” he read aloud. I just laughed & left with my driver.
It’s not JUST that the idea changed. Things change all the time. It’s that I called business affairs for MONTHS trying to get clarity if they were picking up my contract option or if I was ok to tell Marvel that I was available for whatever they were calling me for. I had been…
Called my attorney to prepare a will. As a black trans woman I have LIVED and am certain that I have done and am doing what I came to do. With multiple targets on my back my time will come too. I’m prepared knowing everyday my life is on the line. Any day could be my last ☮️
Some BIG NEWS I’ve been holding onto for a while now!
I’m Executive Producing an incredibly endearing & inspiring story of a black trans woman living in New Orleans 7 days before hurricane Katrina! Also starring the ORIGINAL Aunt Viv,

It took me about a year and some months to process all of this so that I could speak without crying or getting too angry. Because we know how y’all respond to “angry Black women.” So I’m about to lay out all the facts for you. But I have to take care of myself in the process.
One of the many things I love about being a working black actor is that it means more black women will be hired as my stunt doubles and stand ins. They are incredibly hard working and talented and help make me look good! It’s truly a team effort!

“I have what they call cis-assuming privilege [...] They’re assuming I’m cis. They’re assuming I’m not trans. I say cis assuming [...] because I’m not trying to pass for anything. I am who I am.”
The last 3 years have been a nightmare in ways you are only beginning to know about. This is about a SERIES of events that tell a different kind of horror story. People on here are being unpaid extras whose inhumanity is frightening. Just know I’m prepared to face every demon.
