Quick selfie and costuming wall from about a decade ago for the ABC mini series When We Rise.

I did an absolute TON of background work on 2016-2017 which was curiously affirming to me as a transgender woman to be put into background scenes as a woman 😊

When We Rise was the only show I did portraying a transgender person, specifically a sex worker in the Tenderloin district (they had also used me in another sequence with Guy Pierce which required many MANY takes 😳).

Iirc, this is where I met a number of other local actors who are still friends with me to this day. 🙂

🌎 THIS WEEK IN MINA HISTORY 🌎

This week in Mina history finds me in my “Jackie O era” (thank you to @sharonbighair for the perfect hair!) on the set of an amazing TV mini series called When We Rise!

@whenweriseabc was written by @dlanceblack and directed by THE @gus_van_sant ♥️
When We Rise is considered an “elongated Milk” and a prequel to the movie “Milk,” exploring the lives of three activists, including Cleve Jones, before Harvey Milk’s political career.
It was an absolute honour and privilege to be apart of this amazing series along side some of my fabulous drag sisters! We came together to show the fight that our incredible community that came before us had and that we sadly are continuing to fight for today.
Just know that,

WE WILL NEVER EVER GIVE UP!
and WE WILL ALWAYS RISE!!!!

LOVE ALWAYS WINS IN THE END.

ALWAYS!

#WhenWeRise in 2017
@whenweriseabc #tvminiseries
341 minutes about the whole LGBT history from #stonewall to #gaymarriage and the activists #clevejones #romaguy. 4 episodes by young characters and 4 episodes by older characters. I actually preferred the former 4 episodes by young characters, that's because they were more struggling and the time was more brutal, which (as a LGBT myself) I cried a lot. I loved #austinpmckenzie and #emilyskeggs performances, hope they're more recognized. #marylouiseparker as Roma is also brilliant, and #guypearce as Cleve should've been nominated. I just can't believe GoldenGlobe and Emmy dumped it. Only the LGBT awards #GLAADmediaawards gave the Best Miniseries. This is very good to learn about LGBT history. Also stars #rachelgriffiths as her partner, #whoopigoldberg #rosieodonnell as small roles, who are real-life good friends of hers. #debrawinger #robreiner #richardschiff as cameos. And also stars #carriepreston #denisohare #samjaeger #jonathanmajors #ivoryaquino #rafaeldelafuente #charliecarver. written and directed by #dustinlanceblack produced by #gusvansant
Note: MLP herself is a big advocate for #LGBT. #mlp_on_screen_click_here
