Exclusive or Inclusive?

From April Ashley to Valentine Sampaio, we have seen transgender models gracing magazine covers and fashion runways. They are style icons, celebrities, teachers and they can be the next-door neighbor that loves to invite you out for dinner. Yet, it is only recently that a fraction of the people in Indonesia is understanding the term, transgender.

Today, we take a deep dive to see what transgenders face when being themselves is still considered to be a mental illness and the reason for natural disasters. How do they navigate themselves when being true to yourself is not socially acceptable?

Join us as we gain more insights into the transgender community in Indonesia and the country's developing fashion industry with guests Remy @remmieux, fashion designer turned model turned entrepreneur, as well as Dena @denarachman of @bebitalk and co-founder to one of the top modeling agencies in Indonesia @futuremodels.id.
