Ts Madison evolved from a social media sensation to a multimedia superstar. She hosts shows and podcasts and stars in Hollywood productions like Zola, Bros, and The Ts Madison Experience, where she made history as the first Black trans woman to star in and executive produce a reality show.
“The work I do is easy, because it comes from the heart,” the multihyphenate says. “At my core, I’m an entertainer, healer, teacher, and comedian…everything I dreamed of being as a kid. I educate, inspire, and probably sometimes infuriate [people], but I cause thoughtful conversations through my art. Because I am those things, it comes naturally to me. I am an entertainer.”
Between appearing on Beyoncé’s acclaimed Renaissance album and becoming a recurring judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race, Madison had a big year. But her biggest accomplishment is purchasing a $1.2 million home.
“This causes me to reflect back to when I [struggled] to pay rent,” Madison recalls. “I am now adding to my real estate portfolio and was able to turn my old property into ‘The TS Madison Starter House,’ a safe haven for trans women.” @tsmadison
