EDGE Now: 3 Trans Trailblazers Leading Change

This episode of EDGE Now leans into Trans Awareness Week by celebrating three trans leaders who are changing what queer visibility and power look like in real time. Kim Coco Iwamoto, Hawaii’s first openly trans state legislator, brings her steady, longtime commitment to civil rights and education. Jace Barron, a Black, queer and trans media voice, uses storytelling and podcasting to center the lives and joy of trans men of color. And Bambi Salcedo, founder of the Trans Latin Coalition, is pushing for immigrant trans communities to have real access to health care, education and safety. Together, their stories highlight resilience, culture shifting and the kind of unapologetic trans leadership that keeps moving queer representation and justice forward.
