On the Importance of Black Queer Media

Angelica Ross and Ashlee Marie Preston at GLAAD's inaugural Black Queer Creative Summit

I believe that black queer media is essential to creating empathy towards Black queer and trans people across the diaspora, all around the world.  Black queer and trans media has become a powerful tool to help fight the discrimination and hate we continue face.

April 2023 Week 1 | Preparing for N.O.W.

So much going on right now!  I just moved to Downtown Los Angeles and downsized from a 4 Bedroom home that I was using as the production headquarters for Miss Ross Inc.  Often times, especially in show-business, things change and you have to also be willing to change.  To let go.  And let go I […]

Figure it TF OUT!

Angelica Ross

I decided not to post this live to Instagram, because I just don’t trust that platform anymore.  So here is the unedited, unfiltered video from a live where the central message was FIGURE IT THE F*CK OUT!

Angelica Ross and Hillary Clinton

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/170006111″ align=”center”][vc_column_text letter_spacing=””]I’ll be honest, I was on the fence.  Back in November of 2015, while attending Janet Mock’s wedding, journalist and new friend Alicia Menendez then asked me, why I wasn’t completely sold on Hillary.  As I gave my answers I started hearing myself, and I sounded exactly like the same people who […]

Call Me Caitlyn. Sincerely, Miss Ross.

I want to take this opportunity to hold Caitlyn Jenner responsible as an Executive Producer for the editing and misuse of her new found power. The first step to dismantling a system of oppression is recognizing your role in its perpetuation. This is a step we all have to take regardless of race or ethnicity. If Caitlyn wishes to be a part of the solution, then she must be willing to examine the ways she has contributed to the problem.

Practice Waking Up to Your Life

The sun rises and sets everyday with out fail as an inherent marker for the beginning and end of this daily practice we call life.

Within These Crowded Streets

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text font_size=”16″ letter_spacing=””] We must stay vigilant and be very careful of how we allow ourselves to be addressed. We can too easily become what we are called with all the unwelcome responsibilities the title makes us heir to. -Maya Angelou The cat is out the bag. We now know that transsexuals walk among us. […]

Apologies to our Mother’s

I recently ran across a video re-posted by Monica Roberts of Transgriot, called “I’m Sorry for Killing Your Daughter?” It is a poetic letter written by an African American Transgender Man to his father who is a pastor of a church. This video struck a nerve with me. At 31, years of age I live my life unapologetically. But this video has got me thinking that even though I’m sure i’ve apologized in the past, I’m not sure I ever communicated as compassionately as this video does.

Compassion for #GirlsLikeUs

Compassion is often thought of as akin to pity, but whereas pity may be condescending, compassion springs from a sense of the equality and interconnectedness of life. Genuine compassion is about empowering others, helping them unlock strength and courage from within their lives in order to overcome their problems
