Description
Her Story features predominantly LGBTQ women, on and off-screen. With this project, we have the opportunity to positively shift cultural perceptions of trans and queer women. We invite you to join us in helping to make visible the lives of women who too often are made invisible. Trans women in the media have long been punchlines, killers, indications of urban grit, pathetic tragedies, and dangerous sirens. Rarely have they been complex characters who laugh, struggle, and grow, who share strength in sisterhood, who seek and find love. Her Story depicts the unique, complicated, and very human women we see in queer communities, and explores how these women navigate the intersections of label identity and love.
Angelica Ross, a black trans CEO, activist, and actress, as well as Laura Zak, a writer and actress will be joining us from the cast and crew of the show. After the screening of the show, there will be an open discussion along with a question and answer period.
This event is Co-Sponsored by the Department of Residential Life, Department of Media and Communication Studies, LGBT Faculty and Staff Association, Off Campus Student Services, Student Life's Mosaic: Center for Culture and Diversity, Women's Center, and the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.
