In this episode of The Human Frame, Łucja speaks with Willow Stone, a drag performer, model, trans woman, and powerful advocate for trans rights, about the transformative force of performance and the politics of visibility in today’s climate.
Willow shares her journey into drag, how performance helped her discover and embody her womanhood, and why creativity became a site of both safety and resistance. Together they explore the emotional, artistic, and political layers of drag; the challenges of being a trans artist in the UK; and the importance of joy, resilience, and chosen family in the face of rising hostility.
This episode dives into:
✨ Willow’s early creative roots
✨ How performance shaped her transition and identity
✨ Navigating the UK’s growing wave of transphobia
✨ Drag as rebellion, storytelling, and survival
✨ The realities of working as a trans model in mainstream media
✨ Why representation, nuance, and humanisation matter more than ever
