Dreaming of being the change with actor Indya Moore
Listen now
Description
Pose actor Indya Moore is achieving their goals in spite of living through a traumatizing childhood. Brought up as a Jehovah's Witness, their realization that they had been assigned the wrong gender at birth caused them to leave home and enter the foster care system. Their struggle not only to transition, but to find the basic comfort, love, and security human beings need to survive, left them beaten and broken. But triumph they did, ultimately being cast in Pose, the breakout TV drama about trans women that uncannily mirrors their life. Now a successful model and actor, they share the intimacies of their experiences with host Amanda de Cadenet, along with their vision of changing everything they can for those who follow in their path.
