Black History Month - Black Trans Women - February 26th

Today, I want to highlight Ts Madison. Ts Madison (Madison Hinton) is a Black American transgender entrepreneur, internet personality, and host. She first gained attention in the early 2010s through viral online videos and later created her own talk show and media brand. In 2021 she became the first Black transgender woman to star in and executive produce her own reality television series (The Ts Madison Experience on WE tv). Her significance comes from business ownership and self-produced media rather than traditional activism. By building her own platform, she demonstrated a path where a Black trans woman could control production, branding, and storytelling rather than waiting to be cast or approved by existing institutions.
