The power of Pose
If you're looking for a show with romance, Comedy, drama and sassiness ,All wrapped into one. Then pose will be the perfect show to start binge watching. It's a tale of a young ,Hispanic trans women in the heart of Harlem New York city, Looking to make her mark on the Ball room scene as a house mother. What is Ball room and a house mother you ask?. Well ballroom is a special place were the LBGTQ community (usually gay men and trans women.)meet to battle each other and support one another through a dance style called Vouging . This show also really captures what it is like to be a gay man or a trans woman in the 8o's. The gay community has impacted the culture for many years now through fashion, lingo and dancing and the show highlights that. I feel the lesson is this series is to always live in your truth no matter what anyone thinks. I feel like in this day and age we need a message like that more than ever. Society is constantly telling us what to be and how to look it can be easy lose yourself. I look at some one the characters and say wow I wish I could be that comfortable with myself. Even having this show on a major TV network is inspiring within itself . Just a few years ago LBGTQ based shows were really show on regular cable. I feel like this show is a step forward to having more diversity on TV and that is a beautiful thing to see.
