More Than Makeup: Beauty as Trans Power | Lina Bradford | Connie Fleming

Описание: Okay Sugar, strap in! This episode of The Cutting Up is serving beauty, history, and a whole lot of truth.
This week, when the gong rashes, guess who it is… the iconic Bradley Miller—makeup artist, educator, and all‑around force—and she sits down for a kiki that starts with nostalgic movie obsessions and legendary lipstick moments, and quickly turns into something deeper, but no less fabulous.
Bradley spills on her journey through the cosmetics industry, what it really means to be visible as a trans person in corporate spaces, and why advocacy is not optional. It’s essential. We get into how makeup has literally saved lives for trans women, the power of being seen, and the importance of showing up for one another when the world isn’t exactly rolling out the red carpet.
There are laughs, there are tender moments, there’s a little dating tea too. Oh, and yes, there’s plenty of glam. From healthcare access and inclusivity to the everyday challenges trans women still face, this episode is about living authentically, loving loudly, and lifting each other up.
Grab your favorite lip gloss and join us cuz we are serving it up this week.
