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 addition to her acting and modeling gigs and her activism, Moore also is the founder of Beetlefruit Media, Inc., a production company focused on storytelling in various mediums. Her company aims to tell stories about disenfranchised groups in a variety of genres, including sci-fi, horror and comedy. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the company already has projects in various stages of production in Tokyo, New York and Atlanta. And this project is a part of Moore’s master plan to be more involved in all aspects of Hollywood. She told Teen Vogue that she is interested in expanding her skill sets and working as a showrunner. “I want to hire everybody that nobody wants to hire. I want to accumulate as much power that I can [and] give it away. I’m not trying to be a savior or anything. I just want to do what isn’t being done. It’s just really frustrating how people are just so selfish in this industry. It makes me very angry.”
