In Her Shoes with Nicole Maines

CherryPop

This episode of CherryPop is presented by DSW. This Pride Month, join us and our partners at DSW as we celebrate putting our best foot forward and unapologetically living in full color!

Actor, activist, and writer Nicole Maines shares the powerful impact dreaming big had on her as a young trans woman, the joys and challenges of writing a graphic novel for the DC Universe, and what it’s like tackling the complexities of mental health on screen as Lisa in Yellowjackets Season 2.

“If we're not hoping, or if we're not dreaming, what are we doing? It's important for us to have ambition, goals, and hope. All of that is encompassed in dreaming. As cliche as it is to tell people to chase their dreams and to hold on to their dreams, I think it’s crucial for all of us.” -Nicole Maines
