Advocacy

Leveraging my presence as a film and theatre artist, I speak out against media misrepresentation.  Podcasts, articles and interviews (below) allow me to push back against these negative narratives, from "Psycho" to "Silence of the Lambs" to "Dallas Buyers' Club".

Brave Conversations:
Making Connection in the Age of Identity Politics

Difficult Conversations on subjects of great importance.  Avoid them, or use them to engage with people in your life?
"Brave Conversations" is my latest outreach project on behalf of About Face Theatre Company.  Be part of this exciting project in understanding and compassion, for the transgender community and beyond.
