It was late 2017 when FX’s Pose first hit out screens. The

brainchild of Glee, American Horror Story and Hollywood 

director Ryan Murphy and pioneering writer Janet Mock,

the show pulled down the curtain on New York City’s 

legendary ballroom scene in the late 80s, and paid rightful

dues to Harlem’s Black and Latino LGBTQ+ communities

for the first time since Jenny Livingstone’s Paris Is Burning.

Revered for its authentic, humanising portrayals of queer

hardship and breaking records for the largest transgender

cast in a scripted tv show, the show was an instant

success, with non-binary actor and model Indya Moore

quickly becoming one of it’s many breakout stars.

Since then, Moore has acquired a cultural relevancy

most could only dream of, snagging roles in  Queen & Slim, 

Steven Universe and even a spot on the Time 100. 

Covering our Summer 2020 Issue, the Bronx-born actor takes

stock of these last few years in the spotlight, recounting the

many highs and lows.
