TRACEY “AFRICA” NORMAN

Janet Mock and Tracey Norman for @hollywoodreporter ✨🎥✨ // Finally finished season 2 of @posefx and didn't think I could be even more grateful for meeting these two women and having so many amazing pics from this shoot. What Janet does with story telling in that show is beyond. There is so much love, fear, pain, support, drama and courage within all the characters. There's so much to learn about the trans community, yes, but also about being human. For those who don't know, Tracey is the inspiration for the character Angel Evangelista played by @indyamoore. Tracey's life story is nothing short of amazing and I suggest you read about her in an amazing NY Times article that came out last year. This is the show that reminds me know matter who you are, NO ONE accomplishes anything alone and you are truly blessed to have a group of close friends not just backing you, but FIGHTING for you. It's easy to say you support someone, but what are you really doing to make sure your people get what they are working for? So stoked I can finally share some outtakes from this shoot. Just want to add that Janet Mock is a BOSS and the energy she brings is fierce. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't very scared setting up for our shots, but by our last setup we were sharing laughs and I am deeply grateful to her and Tracey who brought it all 💫🌇😍🙌🏿🖤 #posefx #janetmock #traceynorman #houseofevangelista https://www.instagram.com/p/B2CNg62A50f/?igshid=1dyyqe5w3hb36

I’ve been lucky enough to work with more than a handful of top models and A list actresses in my career so far—many in which I wasn’t shooting but assisting because I just started getting major talent 2 years ago. In all my experience none come close to the poise and elegance that @therealtraceyafrica has. She’s from a time that we don’t hold as close and it makes her so damn special. It’s a time where grace and elegance were the only option and there were so many examples but she still broke through because she exudes it. I couldn’t choose just one so swipe into elegance 💎💫🥂 #traceynorman #posefx https://www.instagram.com/p/B2E2FX4ALdN/?igshid=hqfew3gprxy6
