I, a plus sized, dark-skinned woman, had a love scene on primetime television. I had the most fun ever filming that scene even though I was nervous. But I felt sexy and beautiful and I felt like I was doing a good job. I’m very proud of the work we all did to make that scene a great opening for the episode. I keep hearing that people are “hating” on it. I’m not sure how anyone could hate on love but that’s okay. You may have your memes. Honestly, I’m at work too busy to check Twitter anyway. #Booked. Hope you enjoy next week’s show!

The very birth of the term Asian American came from a rejection of white supremacy, institutional racism and in full support of Black Power [via the Asian American Political Alliance, particularly in regards to the work being done by the Black Panthers]. We stood together. Some of us still stand together. We must stand together again.
In 2015, a reported 18 black trans women have been murdered in America. Just 12 transgenderwomen of any race were killed in the entirety of 2014. Despite a wave of trans publicity – spearheaded predominantly by reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner and actress Laverne Cox – life without the protective vest of media is clearly not so simple for transgender women, particularly those of colour.
To that end, the #BlackLivesMatter movement organised #BlackTransLiberationTuesday in cities across America to shout loud for the women that have been killed and draw global attention to the idea that these are people and communities that need protecting urgently. (by Thomas Gorton)
