Actress, director, writer, producer, and activist Shakina Nayfack answered my call to bare it all on my podcast Baring It All with Call Me Adam, on the Broadway Podcast Network. Shakina received international attention for crowdfunding her gender confirmation with her 2014 KickStartHer campaign and has since written three rock musicals about her transition. Shakina played a guest-starring role in the series finale of Amazon's Transparent, a Musicale Finale on which she was also a writer and producer. Shakina's fans know from her work as "Lola" in Hulu's cult-comedy series Difficult People and most recently, playing "Ellis" on NBC's new comedy Connecting.
