In the Season 6 premiere, we speak with Imara Jones (she/her), founder of TransLash Media and host of the TransLash Podcast.

Topics include:

• Why trans rights are the secret to defeating patriarchy
• How to be a better ally to Black trans people
• Why trans folks are essential leaders for building better futures
• The saga of Imara's open letter to BET
• Plus: we're angry about needing to be angry
