Pose Cast Members Release Video to Combat Homelessness
Cast members from the critically acclaimed show Pose have joined together withNew York-based advocacy organisation True Colors Unitedto combat homelessness, reports Huffington Post.
MJ Rodriguez, Dominique Jackson, Billy Porter and others talk in a video about their own experiences with being homeless and isolated.
