Sky

Sky (she/her) is a high school sophomore who loves theater and acting. Sky is drawn to embodying other people’s stories on the stage and on the screen and describes acting as an “otherworldly” experience that allows her to teach people through the characters she portrays. After high school, Sky plans to pursue acting and hopes to be a role model to other young transgender and Asian people. She believes that being a role model means stressing the importance of treating people with respect.

Whether it’s through her acting or her work with GenderCool, Sky is passionate about educating and connecting with people. She has shared her powerful, positive story on The Kelly Clarkson Show, NPR, ABC7, and more. Sky wants the world to know that she is just like any other kid with interests, dreams and friends, and although being transgender isn’t what defines her, she is very proud of who she is.
