Nicole Maines, trans activist, actor, and bestselling author, never doubted who she was from three years old. In this week’s episode, she explores with Elisa the painful journey of having to hide in order to survive - something no one should ever have to do. Tune in now to learn how she maintained the strength to be unapologetically herself, secure the legal right for trans kids across her state to use school bathrooms, and take up the mantle of TV’s first ever live-action trans superhero, Dreamer, in the CW hit series Supergirl. Now with the release of her memoir, It Gets Better…Except When It Gets Worse, Nicole’s journey to self-acceptance has her radiating a power and beauty that could only come from someone who has an unwavering commitment to being exactly who they are.
