Founder of TransTech Social Enterprises & President of Miss Ross, Inc.; Actress Known for the FX Drama "Pose"
Angelica Ross Biography
Angelica Ross is a pioneering leader in the fight for human rights, with a special focus on advancing transgender and racial equity. While widely recognized for her breakthrough roles on FX’s "Pose" and "American Horror Story," her impact extends far beyond the screen.
As the President of Miss Ross, Inc. and founder of TransTech Social Enterprises, Ross empowers people to lift themselves out of poverty through technical training, digital work creating a social impact, and bringing economic empowerment to marginalized communities. In 2020, Ross became a face of Nicolas Ghesquière’s pre-Fall campaign for Louis Vuitton — a campy homage to vintage sci-fi book covers.
Ross’ acting breakthrough came in the form of Ryan Murphy’s Award-Winning FX hit, "Pose" — which follows NYC’s Black and Latino LGBTQ and gender-nonconforming ballroom culture scene in the 80’s and early 90’s. Making TV history, the show features the largest transgender cast ever for a scripted series.
Since studying acting at Florida Atlantic University, Ross has appeared across numerous mediums, including film, television, and theatre. One project, the Emmy nominated (Outstanding Short Form Comedy or Drama) web series Her Story, received special recognition at the GLAAD Media Awards. A segment Ross appeared in on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah was honored with a GLAAD Award for Outstanding Talk Show Episode. She’s also appeared in "Transparent" (Amazon), "Claws" (TNT), "Doubt" (CBS), and "Danger & Eggs" (Amazon).
Ross also works behind the camera. She executive produced and appeared in the Daytime Emmy-nominated web series "King Ester" (2019), and in the short film "Missed Connections" (2017), which went on to be an official selection at the Outfest LGBTQ Film Festival, the La Femme International Film Festival, and the Baltimore International Black Film Festival.
