How women’s history sets up our future with Mila Jam

Profile

Mar 31

March 31 marks the last day of Women’s History Month and Transgender Day of Visibility. This is a time to highlight and commemorate all that women have achieved - past, present, and future. Revry honors their contributions to our history and society, and to provide recognition and encouragement of a more inclusive future.

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we are taking part in celebrating the trans community. Transgender women globally have been left out from our history and overlooked far too often. Women’s History Month and Transgender Day of Visibility is a time to showcase the talent and creativity that lives within our female-identifying community. Directors, actresses, writers, and more; we’ll be interviewing creative and inspirational women who make a difference with their art.

Mila Jam is a transgender singer, songwriter, dancer, actress, and activist. With hits like ‘Twilight Zone’ and ‘Eye On You’, Mila is an important asset to the modern queer music scene, using her platform to spotlight LGBTQ+ issues. Check out her new music video, ‘Pretty One’, premiering today on Transgender Day Of Visibility!

What does Women’s History Month month mean to you?

Women’s history month to me is discovering women creators, pioneers & innovators I didn’t know much about!

There are so many unacknowledged women who made history. Is there a women creator that has impacted your work?

I’m impacted by the living legend & lead singer Dolores “LaLa” Brooks of the iconic 60s girl group The Crystals. Her crossover success as a black female artist has affected my dream to do the same.

History is inspirational to future generations. What advice would you give the next generation of women creators?

To the next generation of women creators I would say learn about the ones before you. It’s the history that sets up our future!

In celebration of Women’s History Month, Revry has curated a powerful collection of stories told by female artists featuring films, TV series, music, and more.
