Reintroducing Michaela Jaé Rodriguez.
The trailblazing actor made a name for herself as
Blanca Evangelista in FX's groundbreaking series
, but she's just getting started. Her new role as
Sofia Salinas on the series
highlights Rodriguez's warmth, vulnerability, and
comedic chops.
Beyond acting, Rodriguez continues to advocate for
diverse parts for trans actors, and she doesn't shy
away from representing trans identity in the industry:
"The bigger picture is that there are people who feel
like they're misfits," she says. "There are people who
feel like they're not wanted or needed. Most
obviously in the LGBTQIA community, but also
outside of it. Why not be the example?"

Shoutout to for all of the support
I started the new tv series and am obsessed! (Theo & Rose are too cool for Instagram so I’m shamelessly tagging their fan accounts 💅🏼)

The Kerry Phelan Designs] Shirley Collection was shot amidst a former landfill and was born through the exploration of repurposed vintage textiles. The editorial features bold, modern garments reconstructed from alluring antique furniture upholstery from the 1940s and 1950s, vintage handmade quilts, and embroidered tableware. I focused on highlighting the traditional, hand-done elements of the vintage textiles, calling attention to the female-centric methods of historic embroidery, quilting, and trimming. I aim to give the materials destined for landfills a trendy rebirth, honoring both the history they hold and the breathtaking land that created them.

Check out the entire Lookbook & story at the link in my bio!
Thank you to the amazing creatives who worked on this!
