Tshiamo Modisane on choosing gender-affirmation surgery in 2018  and transitioning from male to female. She grew up in Daveyton township as Kgositsile, meaning ‘king’, was expected to conform to black culture’s expectations for a male, and endured censure and abuse into adulthood.

Tshiamo Modisane works as a producer, actress and fashion and celebrity stylist. She is the first gender-non-conforming brand ambassador for Lux and was named the 2022 Sowetan S Mag Woman of the Year in Fashion and Beauty.
