Geena Rocero has yet to meet a stage she doesn't like. As the reigning trans beauty queen in the Philippines, she was adored and envied with equal passion – all while being out and proud. But when she moved to America and became a model, she went back in the closet to protect her livelihood, at least until the secrecy began to do more harm than it was worth. Geena tells Stephanie how she was finally able to live without compromising what was most important to her, starting with the moment she reclaimed her identity, all while standing on one of the biggest and most pivotal stages in the world.

Famed photographer Ellen Stagg describes her work as photographing women of all levels of dress undress, empowering women, and celebrating and collaborating with them through her photography. Ellen's lifelong interest in photography began in high school in Connecticut with a senior-level photography course. She attended the prestigious School of Visual Arts, graduating with a BFA. At the end of her junior year at SVA, Stagg signed with her first agent and immediately began shooting commercial content for magazines, advertising, fashion, and exclusive clientele. Ellen's fashion and commercial work has appeared in Life, Vibe, Interview, Maxim, Flaunt, I-D, Inked, Penthouse, Time Out, Teen Vogue, and film and TV. Her subjects, drawn from acting, music, and sports, include Scarlett Johansson, Moby, Tony Hawk, Heidi Fleiss, Redman, Good Charlotte, and Geena Rocero. A complete list of her clients is at EllenStagg.com. The turning point in her career came when Ellen met porn star/actress Justine Joli, who was searching for a photographer to create content for her site. Through Joli, she met other women from the industry and continued to explore more erotic subject matter but ran into difficulty while looking for places to showcase her work. Deemed too "porn" for her commercial work and too "artsy" for porn sites, Ellen started her own website, Staggstreet.com, which brought her more notoriety and opened doors for TV work and art exhibits.  Ellen was spotlighted in a ten-episode web series shot by The Independent Film Channel called "The Stagg Party". Filmed and directed by Joe Swanberg, the series received critical kudos. She then moved on to shoot/produce and star in 2 seasons of Playboy TV's "Badass," photographing models doing badass activities like cliff diving, riding horses, and driving a tracker, all in the nude while Ellen interviewed them. Ellen also starred in KarmaloopTV KarmaloopTV.com, "Behind the Lens," shooting and interviewing her models, including Stoya, Lily Labeau, Shay Laren, Kacie Marie and more.  Ellen has exhibited her fine art film images at art galleries worldwide. She has shown her work at Fuse Gallery, Parlor Gallery, Stephen Romano, Morbid Anatomy, Gallery, Brooklyn, Mighty Tanaka, and Scope Art Fair. Her work is regularly featured on the covers and pages of Hustler and Taboo magazines. Ellen received three wins and numerous nominations from the AltStar Awards.

Welcome to our 3rd Year Anniversary special episode of the Breakfast With Tiffany Show podcast! In celebration of achieving another major milestone, we had the pleasure of inviting the charismatic Cecilia Gentili (She/Her), originally from Argentina but now living in the US as a proud transgender woman and advocate for the community. Join our inspiring talk with extraordinary stories and learn how Cecilia let life take her to unexpected places! Cecilia starts off by sharing her coming out story to her mom at 3 and a half years old knowing at the time that she was not a boy, then again at 17 as a transgendered person. Cecilia talks about how Argentina in the 70's was under a dictatorship where queer people were persecuted. With the lack of information, education, and a generation without the internet, Cecilia's first exposure to a transperson was in college at 17. We recognize how representation and exposure to identities can help guide people to feel seen and be authentic to who they are, as it did for Tiffany and Cecilia. Cecilia points out how sexuality and gender are consistent discoveries, as we don't fully know who we are until life takes us places we have never been to before. She adds how we shouldn't make plans for ourselves but rather embrace life and be open to it. The next question asks revolves around the secret to Cecilia's 8-year long loving relationship. She believes the secret is to be open to new experiences, not to take life too seriously, always find something to laugh together, and so on. She emphasizes the importance of maintaining joy and safety in your relationships. The discussion covers Cecilia's memoir as a survivor, healing from trauma,  recovering from substance abuse, and more. Lastly, Cecilia reminds us to respect each other's and our own version of beauty, happiness, and success.  ~~~Cecilia Gentili is an advocate, organizer, and storyteller working at the intersections of sex work, immigrant rights, incarceration issues, and trans liberation. She has years of experience in direct services and policy advocacy, working with organizations such as Apicha CHC, and GMHC; and as a founding member of both DecrimNY and Trans Equity Consulting. As a performer, Cecilia starred as Ms. Orlando in the hit FX Show Pose. She has also performed in her one-woman show The Knife Cuts Both Ways, and in countless storytelling events across the country. Cecilia's recently published epistolary memoir won the 2023 Stonewall Book Award. You can follow or contact Cecilia below; Twitter: @CeciliaGentili Instagram: @ceciliagentili72 Website: Trans Equity Consulting (Cecilia's company) ~ https://www.transequityconsulting.com/ Book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61629767-faltas Support the showBreakfast With Tiffany Show Official Facebook Page ~ https://www.facebook.com/breakfastwithtiffanyshow Tiffany's Instagram Account ~ https://www.instagram.com/tiffanyrossdaleofficial/ For coaching sessions & programs with Tiffany, check out her official page ~ https://www.tiffanyrossdale.com Breakfast With Tiffany Show Youtube Channel ~ https://bit.ly/3vIVzhE Breakfast With Tiffany Show Official Page ~ https://www.tiffanyrossdale.com/podcast For questions, requests, collaborations and comments, feel free to reach us via our e-mail ~ breakfastwithtiffanyshow@outlook.com

Geena Rocero is known as a storyteller, a supermodel, and an activist, who decided after nearly a decade in the public eye that she could no longer live under the burden of her greatest secrets.  So she revealed them all. In her new memoir, Horse Barbie, Geena recounts her journey from extremely humble beginnings in the Philippines to headlining fashion runways all over the world - all while hiding her truth. She reveals to Katie the years-long terror she felt of being outed as a transwoman, and the fear that her career as a supermodel would be crushed if anyone were to find out. Geena discusses why support from the matriarchs in her life - from the mother who raised her to the drag mother who helped her flourish - are the reason she can now be a light for others, through her activism and community outreach work.  In this thought-provoking conversation, Geena illustrates why coming out about who you are can often be the only way to live a life that matters.

“I believe certainly, I know now, after have going through this years and years of feeling ashamed of who I am, you know, internalizing the shame, how America sees trans people, gender in general, and what I know now, is truly, this is the power. I mean, maybe many, many years as a fashion model, definitely there were days when I felt like, why did I even, just a thought of being born as trans and all that. Like, I love being a trans person right now, especially right after that Ted Talk in 2014 when I realized, oh wow, I've opened up. The world opened up to me. You know, this is just the beginning. It doesn't mean all my problems disappear, but certainly there's a sense of freedom in that. So hopefully the freedom that, at least for me to start with, that I found within myself by speaking truth, by truly living authentically as myself, you know, it gives me power. I think people are afraid of that.” Geena Rocero is a model and advocate, known for her courageous journey of self-discovery and self-revelation: In 2014, she came out to the world as transgender on the stage at TED. Today, we discuss her debut memoir, Horse Barbie, where Geena bares her soul, relaying her journey as a pageant queen hailing from the Philippines. Courageously, she made the difficult decision to temporarily conceal her identity in order to pursue a career as a model in New York City, where not even her agent knew her truth. While she booked magazines and ad campaigns, deep within her, she recognized that embracing her authentic self was the key to unlocking her boundless potential. Geena's determination to live her truth serves as a testament to the transformative strength in self-acceptance and genuine empowerment. Besides telling her story, Geena also founded the advocacy and media production company Gender Proud. Okay, let's get to our conversation.

We're going to start experimenting with these Friday episodes. Historically on Fridays, we've dropped guided meditations – and we will still do that – but we're also going to try some different formats, including some shorter episodes with guests that might not be a fit for our traditional Monday and Wednesday shows.Today we've got Dan's new friend Geena Rocero. She has an incredible story about what it's like to live with an all-encompassing secret.Geena was born and raised in the Philippines. There, she became a star on that country's thriving transgender beauty pageant scene. Then she moved to America to launch her modeling career. But here, in this new country, she was justifiably very worried about letting anybody in the fashion world know that she was transgender. So for many many years, she lived with a secret -- one that could destroy her livelihood at any moment. In 2014, she decided to come out publicly in a TED Talk that now has more than 4 million views. She's now a public speaker, trans rights advocate and an award-winning producer/writer/director.She is also an author, just out with a new memoir, called Horse Barbie. You'll hear her explain what that title means. We also talk about the cost of living with a secret, why she decided to come out, and the overlap between gender and spirituality.Where to find Geena Rocero online: Twitter: twitter.com/geenaroceroInstagram: instagram.com/geenarocero Book Mentioned:Horse Barbie: A MemoirOther Resources Mentioned:Geena's TED talk: Why I Must Come OutDownload the Ten Percent Happier app today: https://10percenthappier.app.link/installSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Model Geena Rocero sits down with Cameron to discuss her essay in the HUNGRY HEARTS anthology, being "stealth" in a visible industry, and her lifechanging TED talk.

Transgender people are currently fighting for their lives against an administration and a religious right that seems hellbent on denying their existence and equality. For many leaders of the movement, this is irony at its finest, because transgender people were once considered sacred in many pre-colonized societies. This week, we talk to advocate and model Geena Rocero about the gender non-conforming spiritual history of the Philippines to illustrate how trans people were once accepted and revered. Then, we catch up with the activist Raquel Willis about how she harnesses ancestral power in the Movement for Black Trans Lives. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Model and Transgender activist Geena Rocero understands the power of speaking your truth and taking control of your narrative. At 17 years old, Geena immigrated from the Philippines to the U.S. to pursue a modeling career. Over the next 12 years, she modeled for brands like Target, Rimmel, Cover Girl, Marriott Hotels and Macy's, but she didn't feel like the people around her knew her full story. So when Geena turned 30, she courageously ‘came out' at her TED talk as trans to bring more visibility to the transgender community. Since then, Geena co-founded GenderProud, an advocacy and media production company that produces media to elevate justice and equality for the transgender community. On the podcast, Geena discusses her first job as a transgender beauty queen, seeing the 'F' on her driver's license for the first time, and the challenges facing the transgender workforce today.

Welcome to the 40th episode of a by and for Trans Podcast, Transition Transmission.  Join the Transgender Trio as they discuss the latest and greatest (and not so greatest) happenings in the Trans* Community.  This week, the gals read a lot of mail that they've received from listeners.  They talk about Emily Miller, Fox News, and the Washington Times, and throw in their favorite subject 'Fucking Republicans'.  They talk about the new struggle within the trans community between Parker Marie Molloy and Calpernia Addams.  We cover some thoughts on a possible trans murderer.  We talk RPDR, and we even bounce into Geena Rocero coming out at a TED talk before derailing the conversation into something completely different.  So join us as we celebrate episode 40 :) www.transitiontransmission.com @TransgenderTrio @AmberNeko13
