My Take
Indya Moore made a real impression on me through Pose, where their Angel Evangelista gave the ballroom world a tenderness that mainstream television rarely affords. Beyond the acting, I admire that they've been so openly transgender and non-binary while doing serious advocacy work, which made the 2019 Time 100 recognition feel earned rather than tokenistic. There's a poise to their screen presence that pairs naturally with the modeling. What I value most is the sense that visibility here comes with substance and conviction, not just style. A performer who's expanded what stories get told, and I'm glad to see them recognized.
