– Imara Jones

Since 2020 TransLash Podcast with Imara Jones has been a beacon for TGNC people and allies seeking a trusted & trans-led source reporting on issues that affect trans communities—all while elevating trans voices and centering trans joy.

Most importantly, with over 500 anti-trans bills being pushed in the United States in 2023 so far, cultivating and celebrating trans joy is essential to our survival.

FIT CHECK

Imara Jones graced the 34th annual GLAAD Media Awards on May 13, 2023, in her signature colorful style, adorned in a stunning bright pink floor length, cape sleeve, one shoulder gown by Teri Jon. Kay Hairstyles made sure Imara’s hair was impeccably done to compliment her outfit.

Along with her gown and crown, Imara’s glamorous pink and silver nails were flawlessly executed by Sky Kandundu. Meanwhile, Imara’s face was beat for the Gods, thanks to MUA Starr Simpson.

Last but certainly not least, Imara’s stylist Blair Brodar deserves a standing ovation for putting together such an elegant look for Imara’s red carpet moment!

ABOUT THE 2023 GLAAD MEDIA AWARDS

The 34th GLAAD Media Awards honored 2022 films, television shows, video games, musicians and works of journalism that fairly, accurately and inclusively represented the LGBTQ+ community and issues relevant to our community.

Producer, Critics Choice-nominated actor, and GLAAD Award winner Harvey Guillén hosted The New York ceremony. The evening opened with a special performance by multi-platinum selling singer/songwriter and Tony Award-winning Broadway icon, Idina Menzel, with the global debut of her new hit, Move.

To recognize the rise in anti-LGBTQ violence across the country tied to the onslaught of anti-trans legislation, GLAAD welcomed transgender Montana State Representative Zooey Zephyr to the stage. She was joined by queer and non-binary Oklahoma State Representative Mauree Turner to spotlight the critical role we all have in representing our communities with our voting power.
