Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, the trailblazing star of FX’s “Pose” and Apple TV+’s “Loot,” will be honored with APLA Health’s Voice of Visibility Award at the 42nd annual AIDS Walk Los Angeles later this month. The award recognizes her advocacy and visibility for the LGBTQ+ community, particularly transgender women of color, who remain disproportionately affected by HIV. Rodriguez will be presented the honor by her “Loot” co-star Joel Kim Booster during the event’s kickoff ceremony.
“There is still a cruel distance between what medicine can do and what access, stigma, and silence allow,” Rodriguez said in a statement, underscoring the ongoing fight against health inequities.
