Most recently, Laith has been making waves since staring as Taylor Swift's romantic interest in her music video "Lavender Haze" which has had high praise since its release a few weeks back!

Laith continues to be an inspiration to young trans men of color!

Baseball right-fielder Roberto Clemente broke barriers during his 18 season career as an Afro-Puerto Rican MLB player.

Clemente was famous for hosting baseball clinics for underprivileged youth free of charge and being involved in many humanitarian efforts.

He took special interest in his native Puerto Rico, taking baseballs and gloves to sick fans and staging baseball clinics across the island that instructed thousands of children, most from poorer neighborhoods, in life matters as well as baseball.

Michaela Jaé Rodriguez is best known for her Golden Globe Award-winning role in the television show "Pose," a role that made her the first trans woman to snag the coveted trophy.

"Pose" is a series that told the story of the underground ballroom community of New York City in the 1980s. Rodriguez played Blanca Evangelista, an up-and-coming house mother who was in charge of taking care of her chosen family that included young, q***r outcasts.

Now, the actor and singer is forging new paths for herself in an industry where just succeeding in one area is challenging enough.
