You're listening to Comedy Central.

Ow!

My guest tonight is an actor and the founder of TransTech's Social Enterprises.

Please welcome Angelica Ross.

Thank you so much for being here.

Thank you for having me, Trevor.

Let's get straight into it.

You are the CEO of TransTech, which is basically a creative technology company,

getting trans people from the LGBT community to come in and learn about technology.

There's a lot of space where we're just forced out of school, we're forced out of the work.

No place really is safe, especially in certain states for trans people.

So first we wanted to create a safe space.

That people could come in and access the internet and computers and trainees and build their skills for better employment.

So this might be a really personal question, but at what age did you realize that you were a tech person?

Honestly, very, very young.

I was the one that was hooking up the VCR and all the TVs, you know, the VCR. That's the thing with the tape.

I know, I'm old school.

I'm old school.

So I've always been tech.

What's really fascinating about your organization is not just the fact that you're teaching and educating transgender people

and getting them into the workforce, but you're transforming the workforce.

Because a lot of the time it's corporations who don't know how to deal with trans people.
