Special role model around the globe

Punam Patel may be a brown, curvy woman on the surface, but fans of her character Kim on Netflix s short-form comedy
Special see her as a woman with a tender heart and the roar of a lion.
Special, which returned for its second (and final) season on May 20, is the semi-autobiographical story of a disabled gay man – played by creator/writer Ryan O Connell – who is trying to live an independent life. Patel plays his fashion-forward, body-positive best friend at work.
In the second season, echoes of Patel s personal life and childhood can be seen in Kim s storyline.
