.angelicaross joins the r29unbothered podcast Go Off, Sis to discuss trans activism, her music career, and more:
Knowing that you cannot plant and harvest in the same season, co-host Chelsea Sanders asks, “How are those seeds you’ve been planting? How is that going?”
Back when Ross “was just trying to survive,” she couldn’t focus on the piano, guitar, and acting. “Everything I enjoy now and have access to almost feels delayed. It was delayed because of my need of survival as a Black trans woman,” says the Wisconsin native. Ross grew up singing gospel, writing songs, recording, and traveling to state fairs. Picture her as a musical theater vet with 11 years under her Telfar belt —graduating from high school.
Delayed but not denied, Ross got the opportunity to launch her music career and perform on major platforms at 41. Last year, the Emmy-nominated talent hosted New York Pride. This year, she’s back to host andArt aside, Ross is also a trans activist who founded TransTech Social Enterprises, a co-working and co-learning community that empowers LGBTQ people with career-ready skills.
“TransTech is about transition at the intersection of technology and centering those who have been marginalized, which are Black and Brown trans people and trans folks who are immigrants,” says Ross. To hear more about TransTech and Ross’ thoughts on Dave Chapelle’s impossible burger and beet juice “jokes,” listen to the episode, below.
