95: Nykita: Trans Icon - Modeling, Makeu...

well said syd
About this episode

Nykita Joy puts the "super" in "super star” and "influence" in "influencer." Nykita (@neoitgirl) is a trans icon & queen who uses her platform to amplify the JOYS of being YOU - Unapologetically. Nykita was born in Minnesota but moved to NYC to pursue a career in makeup, when she was discovered on a job & jumped directly into modeling. She represents what the modeling industry seems to missing: inclusion, authenticity, and transgender representation. 

We cannot thank Nykita enough for opening up about her life & helping us normalize candid conversations for our LGBTQIA+ brothers & sisters. 

Nykita spent her early years accepting, finding, and navigating her identity - all while being surrounded by right winged influences from one small town to another. Listen along as Nykita shares her story and tells us why we all need to go talk to our MANS in our life, like right NOW. Change is happening, but slowly. It is our job (and YOUR job) to have more of these candid convos so we can continue to move forward. <3
