i'm not crying you're crying! Go check it out! Photographer: @endsleyellis #Repost @humansofbroadway (@get_repost) ・・・ "I created my body positive blog CandiedCurves as a part of my road to recovery from an eating disorder about 2 years ago. Performing was always my safe haven, it didn't matter what I was dealing with in my personal life. As soon as I stepped on that stage I could be anyone I wanted. Now my focus has changed, I want to fully love and embrace who I am when I'm not on stage and having artists from the industry I love and connect to so much sharing their journey to those who need to hear it is more than I ever could have dreamed. I am so excited to partner with Humans of Broadway for this body positive series!"- @candiedcurves Body Positive Blogger and performer ・・・・・・・・・ ・・・Humans of Broadway is partnering with Candied Curves for a four part series promoting body positivity in the Broadway community.

#Repost @humansofbroadway "I’ve always sort of had a warped idea of what it meant to be healthy and have a perfect body. When I was 6 years old a boy pushed me down on the bus and told me I was fat. I was very aware at a young age that this was something I would always be dealing with. I went on my first juice cleanse when I was 13, I was on Jenny Craig my entire freshman year of high school, I was vegan, gluten free, dairy free, all at some point in my life. I've been the girl who has a burger and a whiskey and I’ve been the girl who is gluten free and goes to three Soul Cycles a day. I’ve worked the spectrum a lot, and it only very recently occurred to me that choosing to be happy with yourself was an option. It never occurred to me that I was allowed to be happy if I didn’t look the way I thought I had to. I lost weight, gained weight, and what I learned was that it didn’t change anything, especially not my happiness. It didn’t make more people ask me out, it didn’t get me more jobs, it was just that I had an eating disorder and I couldn’t focus on anything else. I remember very specifically when I was 19 years old I was bulimic, exercising like crazy, and I was on stage doing a show of my own music. I remember thinking about the way I looked and it got me really upset. I’m in the middle of singing a song, and I remember feeling like I didn’t want to be on stage, didn’t want to be doing any of this, had no connection to what I was actually saying, and that really scared me. For my entire life being on stage was an escape for me and for the first time this thing got in the way of it. And that was the first time I thought, 'I have a problem.'"

#Repost @humansofbroadway (@get_repost) ・・・ "There have been times in my life when I felt like I had to hide that I was a man of trans experience. I'm 36 now and I've been living as Marquise since I was 16 so over those twenty years there have been times when I've been really stealth, and times when I've been really out. Many of the times when I hid who I was, it was because I wanted a sense of normalcy and I didn't want to be seen as only a person of trans experience. It felt like everything in my life was under that umbrella, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but there were parts of me that wondered what it would be like to navigate the world as just another guy. I discovered that when I was being stealth it felt like something was missing, and I actually felt less safe than I did when I was out. There was always this fear that someone was going to find out, and I didn't know what would happen if they did. Now that I've begun to act, I would love to act in all kinds of roles and I don't want to be limited to only trans roles. However, I also feel like it's very important to cast actors of trans experience to act in their own stories, and bring authenticity to the characters because they connect to them in a real and honest way. I think that we are beginning to see a lot more trans visibility, and I think it's important for men of trans experience to be more visible in these sorts of roles, because we tend to be less visible in the media. It's important for us to be part of these conversations and help people realize that there are many ways to be trans, which can look a number of different ways, and we should be inclusive of them all."- @marquisevilson Beta in Charm at @mcctheater #humansofbroadway #CharmMCC
