This week Amir is joined by the incomparable Arisce Wanzer, a trailblazing black trans woman who’s done it all—from dominating the modeling scene to bringing the drama on shows like X on the Beach and Fish Tank. Arisce opens up about her early transition at just 14, her rise in the fashion world, and the behind-the-scenes challenges of being on reality TV—think shady contracts, exploitative conditions, and dealing with discrimination in an industry that’s often more about looks than love.

But it doesn’t stop there. Arisce keeps it real about the larger societal struggles facing marginalized communities, from the political climate to the toxic grip of misogyny. Together with Amir, she unpacks the importance of authentic representation in media, the fight for trans rights, and what it takes to navigate a world that’s not always ready to celebrate uniqueness.

Hilarious, heartfelt, and packed with jaw-dropping stories, this episode is part pop culture gossip, part real-world truth bomb, and 100% unforgettable. Whether you’re here for the reality TV drama or the thought-provoking insights, this is the episode you’ll be thinking about long after it’s over.
