You know her as Dreamer from the CW's SUPERGIRL, and from roles in YELLOWJACKETS, CLEAN SLATE, and BIT. She's now the writer of multiple DC comics featuring Dreamer, including Suicide Squad: Dream Team, Bad Dream: A Dreamer Story, the Justice League Intergalactic Special and the upcoming DREAM GIRLS limited series. We talk all things Dreamer, trying to get roles as a trans actress, and we be gettin' T-turnt! We do be choosing some shit like "Lavender". Give me the bleeping 'mones!
