Happy Birthday, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez! The actress and singer became widely known for her portrayal of Blanca Evangelista on the FX Series "Pose," for which she became the first trans actress to win a Golden Globe. The 34-year-old is of African American and Puerto Rican descent and has been a vocal advocate for Black and Latinx inclusion and representation in media. Both her talents and work for visibility have been recognized throughout her career. She also made history as the first trans actress to win the Imagen Award for Best Actress-Television and earned the Stephen F. Kolzak Award at the GLAAD Media Awards for her contributions to LGBTQ+ representation in media. #MJRodriguez #MicaelaJae #AfroLatina #TransLatina #TransIsBeautiful #LatinaPower #Poderosa #MadeUsFeelSeen
