Roger Q. Mason Is The Only Black, Filipinx, Plus-sized, Gender Non-conforming, Queer Artist Of Color Episode 144 Only One In The Room

    • Personal Journals

Imagine being the queer, plus-sized, gender non-conforming child of a Black father and a Filipino mother. Writer, director, performance artist, and actor, Roger Q. Mason, grew up in Los Angeles, feeling grateful that their parents followed the way of love and challenged their family's prejudices. But what would you do if the world you lived in fell short of its potential? Would you give up on your dream of a place where you weren’t the only one in the room? Or would you ascribe to the belief that theater is the place where we can envision worlds different and more inclusive than our own?
