We’re all looking for role models to inspire us and remind us that we’re not alone. We look to leaders and public figures and celebrities to remind us of what we could be and to empower us to be proud of who we are and where we come from. And 24-year-old Latinx actress, model, muse and icon Indya Moore is a role model we could all look up to and learn from.

Sure, Moore is talented and gorgeous. But she is so much moore than just a pretty face. Indya Moore is transgender and Latinx. She is a model and an actress. She is an activist and an icon. Her identity and her legacy go beyond any single label, and there are countless reasons to love and respect the star of FX’s hit show Pose. And while it’s hard to narrow down that list, we’ll try. Here are 10 reasons we’re obsessed with Indya Moore.

In the face of hate or injustices, Moore does not shy away from difficult conversations or controversial topics. She uses her fame and her social media status to fight against misinformation and bigotry. She leans towards activism instead of accepting the status quo and she fights to protect the rights of transgender people, and all minorities. She believes that more often than not hate and racism stem from ignorance and a lack of information, and she is on a mission to use her existence to promote healing and acceptance.

And she doesn’t limit her activism to LGBTQ issues. Her role on this show helps her raise conversations to counter homophobia and transphobia, gender rights and civil rights, and she sees it as her duty to be present both on screen and on social media and to show others that she is there for them, standing up for what is right.
