STRONG MAN

Meet Toni Cannon, a charismatic trans man known for his acrobatic strongman performances, which combine feats of strength with dramatic flair.

“ I wouldn't say I had the worst family experience with being trans or queer, but it was challenging.” – Toni Cannon

Toni shares his journey of coming out as trans, discovering acrobatics, and eventually joining San Francisco’s Circus Bella. Plus, how his act playfully critiques toxic masculinity.
