We are here with actor, author, and activist Dominique Jackson. You Might Know Her From Pose, Strut, Chick Fight, American Horror Stories, Fantasmas, and American Gods. Dominique opened up to us about the writing process for her 2014 memoir The Transsexual From Tobago, how she learned to love Elektra Abundance Evangelista, and documenting her life as a model on the reality series Strut. Plus, we talked about her genre work as Bloody Mary in American Horror Stories, the upcoming documentary I’m Your Venus she executive produced about ballroom icon (and Paris Is Burning star) Venus Xtravaganza, and about the house she was looking at on House Hunters. This one really covered all the territory and we hope you love it as much as we do.
