RTDANC 2022 Award Submission: WUNC's Embodied On Facial Feminization

WUNC

Published July 7, 2022 at 3:35 PM EDT

Embodied show art featuring a silhouette of a person in the background, foregrounded by an image of someone in yellow pants, a white shirt and glasses, looking inside the silhouette. The portion that they're peeling back shows a bright orange layer underneath the dark blue silhouette.

Host Anita Rao talks with Emma Ward, a songwriter, producer and community manager, about her experience getting facial feminization surgery — a series of procedures that shape brows, cheeks or chins to appear more feminine — to align internal and external appearance.
