She credits her mother for being the best support system any queer child could ask for.

For Natalie Rae, revealing her glamorous makeup look to her mother was a significant milestone in her journey towards self-acceptance and pride in her trans identity. She expressed, “After years of depression, hiding, and shame, I can finally be me and be proud of my trans identity, in the open.”
