About this listen

Host Tracy E. Gilchrist sits down with actor Brian Michael Smith (Queen Sugar, The L Word: Generation Q, 9-1-1: Lone Star) to discuss his trailblazing career, playing a Black trans firefighter on network TV, and the creative journey that led him from Michigan to Hollywood.

They talk football, early inspirations like Titanic, the realities of life and representation in the industry, Brian's turn into producing independent work, and the importance of community and creative resilience.

Brian closes with a message to queer and trans youth: "We're going to get through this," emphasizing connection, collective power, and hope.
