Heaps Normal & Semi Permanent present: 'Normal People' with Zoe Terakes

Over the course of 2021 we worked with Semi Permanent and Director Charlotte Mars to showcase stories from inspirational friends living, creating and defining their own normal. We’ve lovingly called this series Normal People.
Enjoy episode 1, titled Joy Wins, featuring Zoe Terakes.
Zoe Terakes is an Australian actor best seen in Amazon Prime’s Nine Perfect Strangers, Foxtel’s Wentworth and ABC’s Janet King. But more than that, they are a prominent voice amidst a generation who seek to exist beyond expectation-of themselves, of others, and of the world. A strong advocate for trans, non-binary and other underrepresented communities in the arts, their work is both a reflection of their own journey and a reference point for others looking to emulate an unwavering sense of honesty in their practice.

Zoe I enjoy hearing how you deal with life. I have enjoyed seeing you act.
I am just your topical straight female.
I say good to anyone you will get to the point in their lives. Say this is who I am 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I was verbally abused for some time. It's been 12 year since I left. Still working on myself. Now I can say ( No that's not how you talk to a person) I speak up for myself.

You Will Never Be A Man

[@alexuslabosco2846]

How dare you say that!? That's so very disrespectful of you to even say. That's disgusting of you

[@alexuslabosco2846]

You will never be a man because you have no respect.
