Michaela Jaé Rodriguez on Why an Emmy Win For ‘Baby Reindeer’ Star Nava Mau Would Send an Important Message For Trans Acceptance
In a guest column, 'Pose' star Michaela Jaé Rodriguez writes that Emmy recognition for 'Baby Reindeer' star Nava Mau would help support trans acceptance.
Before I came on the scene, trans actors like Candis Cayne, Alexandra Billings and Laverne Cox — among talented others — were paving the way for me to play roles that would challenge and demonstrate my artistry and breathe new characters into culture.

A victory for Nava would be a historic milestone for Hollywood and for trans people, reflecting a true commitment to making a better world through telling stories that reach into the cultural moment and humanize us.
