From fleeing persecution as a transgender woman in her home country of Trinidad and Tobago to starring in television hits, Dominique Jackson has seen it all. After experiencing homelessness and rejection from her own family, Jackson has used her success to shed light on the challenges transgender women like herself too often face. 

Featured as a part of Blazer Spirit Council’s Blazer Way event series and a Queer Peer’s BlaqOut series, this event will transition us from Black History Month into Women’s History Month as we chat with the Pose star about struggles she has faced in her life.
