I spoke with Imperio backstage at Las Vegas nightclub in Havana. We talked about her life as a trans artist in Cuba and her community's fight for equality.
Check out the story in @Independent and listen to our conversation on @ChangemakersPC:

Meet Imperio. Transgender activist, drag queen and influential voice for LGBT Cubans.
She's fighting to bring visibility to her community in a nation that once sent queer folks to labor camps.
Imperio has a message for Donald Trump: “Lift the embargo.” independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…

Hi Daniel. I'm sorry you're a bad athlete who can't get signed to a team, but that doesn't relate to a company discriminating against perfectly-qualified models.
Maybe you should spend some more time informing yourself on the issues, now that you know you're not getting drafted! twitter.com/Daniel_Hales97…

Unfortunately, two teenage girls I met (who asked not to be filmed) weren't in the loop.
"What's that?" one said. When I explained Brexit a bit, the other replied, "Oh...we're in high school."

First tweet in thread should read "so many people are informed on the issue," btw. @Jack really needs to make an edit feature.

Interestingly, the only person I have met so far who doesn’t support a second referendum is this German consultant, who is excited for the prospect of banks moving to Frankfurt. pic.twitter.com/Xl8Xhx6gvz

I’m walking around Union Square in NYC, asking Americans about Brexit and whether they think it’s going to happen (since their guess is as good as anyone’s at this point!)
So many people are on the issue despite our own nation’s never-ending crazy news cycle.

You know it's going to be a long day when your British editor says first thing in the morning, "You might have to bare with me a bit today, mate, as London is currently falling apart."
