Ep. 73: Playing one of America's Founding Fathers on Broadway - breaking gender and race barriers with '1776' perfomer Sushma Saha
“Pan-gender to me means I identify with any gender expression that exists right now in some way. So there are days where I feel more masculine, or I feel more feminine, or non-binary. It depends on where I'm at internally. I don't like to limit myself to one gender. So pan-gender feels the most accurate.” — Sushma Saha
