This is so Cray! During the pandemic while I was at the beginning of writing my memoir, my morning routine before sitting down to write was lighting a #Sampaguita candle, 10K Steps, and listening to talkeasypod . The way Sam interviews is unlike anyone, he gets it out of you with care, humor and poetry. So for me to be a guest on my favorite podcast, is a full circle #HorseBarbie magic. 
Thank you so much samfragoso karoline_ribak and team❤️🦄

#Repost Model and Activist Geena Rocero Lives Her Story.

Today, we sit with model, writer, and activist geenarocero! At the top, we discuss transgender visibility in the US (3:40), her ‘magical’ upbringing in the Philippines (5:52), and a ceremony that helped her find her true self (9:28). Then, she describes the influence of her trans mother Tigerlily (14:50), her rapid ascent in the pageant circuit (20:40), and memories of the fabled transgender bar Divas (21:52). On the back-half, Rocero walks through her pivot to modeling in New York City (30:24), feeling like a James Bond-like spy (35:04), making history on the TED stage (36:34), the power of community (44:24), and to close, a powerful passage from her new memoir Horse Barbie (46:44).
