Melody Maia Monet is a New York native who lives and works in Orlando, Florida. She is an actor, writer, singer, and YouTube video creator, all of which are informed by her transition from male to female in her early 40s.
Maia has constructed a social media brand centered on life, love, and lesbianism by the friendly post-operative queer transgender woman next door. Her creative drive is to make content for people who are transgender or are just curious about transgender people. She answers those questions you've always wanted to know about trans people, but are afraid to ask. Her YouTube channel https://YouTube.com/melodymaia to date has garnered over a million views and 12 thousand subscribers.
Her short film "Transgender Whiplash," winner of the Viewers Choice Award at the 2018 Cosmic Film Festival, employs elements of magical realism to dramatize the disorienting speed of her transition. Along the way, it highlights what Maia has learned about the lived experiences of men and women.
