Hey Baby !!! let me tell you, In all my TEARS , this moment feels like absolute magic. Your girl will be debuting in @bobsburgersfox as the new voice of the one and only Marshmallow. So honored to have been given a chance to pour heart and soul into a character who is so fierce, so fabulous, and gloriously, unapologetically herself. Marshmallow is a light, a presence, a celebration of all the parts of ourselves we’re taught to hide. She’s here to take up space, and she’s here to stay. We hardly get to hear Black trans voices in animation and if by the chance we do , our stories are so often twisted, misunderstood, and stripped of the truth that makes us beautiful. But Marshmallow? She’s different. She’s bold, she’s loved by the Belchers exactly as she is, and she’s a reminder that we all deserve to be celebrated, loved, cared for and not just tolerated. Representation like this? It’s powerful. It’s life-giving. When you can look at the screen and see yourself—really see yourself—it’s validation in the deepest sense. It screams that you belong, that your story deserves to be told, that you are here with purpose. So, especially today , to every person who’s ever felt unseen, unloved, or forgotten—this is for you. Marshmallow is here, with all her light. She’s in the house , now put a burger in her mouth !!!! P.s. There are no fans on this earth Like Bob’s Burger Fans !! I love yall to the moon and back !! Thank you for the fan art , the love and embracing me and this new chapter of Marshmallow !!! See Yall Sunday !!!!

There are moments that I heard about, that help you forget when the world told you “Never” !!! . . There are these moments I heard about about that help you heal when the society has tried to beat you down , over and over again. . . There are these very real moments that I heard about that help you feel affirmed even when you don’t see yourself. . . I’ve been searching my whole life for those moments, I got tired of looking for those moments. . . So I decided to create them. Not for me but for the next dreamer, outcast, queer, trans, disabled, fat, beautiful black, piece of starlight waiting for their moment to shine. . . It has been such an honor and pleasure to sit in my most authentic self and present imagery of a body that far to often has been demonized, harassed , made to feel ugly and unworthy and even killed. . . I present this image ,myself and all that my body stands for to my community and chosen family, in hope that they see themselves more clearly than ever and further realize that they are worthy of celebration , of compassion , of love and gratitude. . . - Thank you to @ryanmcginleystudios and the @calvinklein family for a collaboration that will hopefully be a symbol of hope and love during these moments.

An Love Letter to my fierce sea, flowing through the Forest. Lately @deniiizchucker and I have been having conversation around collective mourning and healing , and have come to understandings that we need to work on as a community , that healing and mourning and gathering can’t be conditional. Everyday there is hurt , everyday there is laughter , everyday there is death and lost but rebirth and joy. In the wake of death within our community , we tend to recoil into our individuality, we must fight the urge to “ save ourselves “ . When we hurt we all hurt , when we die , we all die , when we heal, we all heal. Remember our vow to the collective. To my trans brothers and masculine siblings … you have always been covered , you have always been loved , you have always been worthy. #translives #translivesmatter🌈 #transmen #nonbinary #translove #transisbeautiful #brotherskeeper #sisterskeeper #siblingskeeper #lgbtq #t4t

This holiday season, we are choosing peace over proximity. ✨ Because let’s be real—some family members , friends and others don’t just test boundaries; they bulldoze right over them. Prior nastiness and constant disrespect will get you blocked , ignored, and a “ hell no “ when you request the passing of the Mac and cheese !! 👆🏾 Letting time pass is not healing ! Shared blood doesn’t mean I automatically forgive you !! Longevity or loyalty doesn’t mean access no matter what !! Accountability matters ! Boundaries aren’t walls; they’re shields for our joy. Remember kids “ Accountability before Access! “💕 #AccountabilityBeforeAccess #ProtectYourPeace #PeaceOverDrama #family #friends #holidays #accountability #selflove

Model and organizer @iamjarijones has made her presence felt everywhere from Soho billboards to Telfar runways. Now, the model and actress can add a new title to her extensive and expanding repertoire: cartoon diva. On the latest episode of Bob’s Burgers, viewers got their fullest introduction yet to the newly recast Marshmallow, the Black trans sex worker now voiced by Jones. Jones spoke with Them about Bob’s Burgers’ inherent queerness, a possible music career, and her part in the upcoming film, Ponyboi. Read the full interview at the link in bio.

From the distance people see us as the sun , giant stars , radiant , powerful…ethereal fires but don’t realize until they get close enough, that most of us are made of of millions of lights, flames and illuminating energy. Community created , Village made. Always honored to be reminded of the flames that set me ablaze !!! Thank you @blacktranstravelfund for such a beautiful evening and a huge thanks to @lexicalentry / @alexwebsterphoto for capturing the black trans queer love that spilled out of those walls! Please continue to donate to Black Trans Travel Fund !! Get the girls home safe at night, get our brothers to work without complication, get our siblings and trans elders to their destinations !!!! #blacktranstravelfund #protecttranswomen #protectblacktranswomen #sisterskeeper #gala #transisbeautiful
