Pose, but now she s showing off her incredible singing voice for a good cause. In her new song Fierce with Ultra Naté and Mila Jam, Ross is lifting up the transgender community with a tune that is just as catchy as it is empowering. While talking with POPSUGAR about the track, Ross explained that she first got involved with the project through her relationship with record producer and FIERCE Project creator Anthony Preston. It was going to be a part of a bigger conversation to talk about the issues facing the trans community, and [he] wanted my participation in helping to amplify the project, she said. Once Ross heard a little bit of the song, she immediately knew she had to get involved.
Basside describes Sophie's demeanor in the studio as chill, making the collaboration with the producer, who died on January 30 after a fall in Athens, feel relaxed and comfortable.

This is one of the first things that crosses my mind as I listen to Tourmaline speak about the research processes that she employs in order to tell the stories of Black trans and queer people who have long shaped our world.
