There are parts of ourselves that we share and give to the world, and there are other parts we hold dear to the heart, for the self.

Trying to find my place in the entertainment industry has been difficult. There was none of that for me. I had to literally get on my knees and pray and really have faith in myself — keep going after auditions, keep taking meetings. The biggest struggle I faced starting out was the isolation, the loneliness that I experienced. My grandfather was a pastor and my father is a pastor now. Being a woman of trans experience just did not resonate with that world.
