Quotes
I enjoyed filming, and I enjoyed the ladies. What is meant for you is for YOU! Obviously that wasn’t for me. Scripted primetime television seems to do me justice, though.
I think we’ve come a long way, and I’m proud of that! Happy for that! But, we have a long way to go.
My first book, “Memoirs of a Mermaid,” will be released in March 2019. It’s my baby. I’m so proud of it and excited to finally be telling my full story in my own words.
10 QUESTIONS WITH Amiyah Scott;By Carlos Aguayo on 2018/11/06
I’m addicted to the Pokémon game. I loved Pokémon growing up, so when I heard that they had a game on the phone, at first I started to play it for fun, and now I’m low-key addicted. It’s really, really fun.
I love watching sports. I may not watch them for the same reasons as everyone else [laughs], but I try to get into it. I think football is kind of fun. I’m from New Orleans, so I root for the Saints when I get a chance.
To know that they should love themselves. What they decide to be is whatever is in their heart. I wish I could tell people that things are possible. The craziest part about my transition is that I didn’t think that I could do it, and at many points I wasn’t going to do it. It’s easy to sit back now after the fact, but I was so close to giving up.
I just wish we could be more supportive of one another. People don’t take into account that yes I’m trans, but I’m also black. I have two things working against me. I’m not only black. I’m not only gay. I’m black, gay and trans. I have so many different targets on my back. So overall for me, I just want equality. I want to feel safe.
