Transgender Superstar Mila Jam Celebrates Trans Day of Visibility with New Song and Video “Say Your Name”
Transgender pop star, Mila Jam, is releasing an extremely powerful new anthem, “Say Your Name” in honor of Trans Day of Visibility. Mila hopes to empower the transgender and drag community to fight back against the constant discrimination the community faces. The song embodies the heart of the issue while highlighting the resilience and strength the community upholds, and encourages people to be proud of who they are without being silenced by bigotry.

“There will always be adversity for those in any minority group,” Mila Jam says, “but we, as a community, can find ways to stand together. We must no longer hide in the shadows. We have to be bold and proclaim to all that we are here, we belong, we are enough, and we cannot be erased.”
The “Say Your Name” single is timely, as the GOP party is currently promoting and enacting discriminatory laws aimed at marginalizing the queer community, particularly trans and drag individuals. Transgender and drag individuals are being targeted in states across the US, where they are denied the right to participate in sports, denied access to healthcare, and even criminalized for simply being who they are.
The video, directed by Catriona-Rubenis Stevens, depicts beautiful and resilient members of the LGBTQ+ family finding strength within the community. There is the drag queen whose story time was cancelled, the trans lover mourning the loss of their partner and the queer person being accosted in a bar. Jackie Cox, Boomer Banks, and Pixie Aventura guest star. They are joined by Mila Jam, in her triumphant Trans flag gown, acting as a beacon of hope, an LGBTQ+ Statue of Liberty, using her platform as an artist to speak out against the injustice and inspire all in the community into action.
