Description

We got one of People Magazine's "Sexiest Men Alive" - Brian Michael Smith - on Black Fat Femme this week, and we get into discussions about authentic trans narratives, wanting more mediocrity (?!?), and the power of tranformative storytelling. From The L Word: Generation Q and 9-1-1: Lone Star, to his advocacy in film and television, Brian breaks down his journey from sports star to TV star while your favorite cohosts share their hot takes about parasocial relationships, being paid more for less, and some of the "hidden figures" in trans history.
