Ryan Murphy’s FX drama Pose propelled Angelica Ross to Hollywood stardom, but the actress and activist, who made history as the first openly trans actress to be a series regular in two series in 2019, has been hard at work for years. In 2014, she founded TransTech Social Enterprises, an incubator for LGBTQ talent with a focus on economically empowering the transgender community.
Last year, Ross inked an overall development deal with production company Pigeon. “Under the overall deal, Ross and Pigeon will develop and coproduce scripted and non-scripted content. The actress and the production banner align on telling the truth while honoring Ross’s Buddhist vow to show others their true value and purpose,” Deadline reported in August.
