I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.
At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Emilia Pérez leads all films with 13 Oscar noms, including Karla Sofía Gascón as the first openly trans person nominated for an acting Oscar.
Here's hoping its success opens doors for other, better trans stories
