The Magic Hour Jolkywood refers to the enchanting and captivating atmosphere that descends upon the entertainment capital, Hollywood, during the golden hour of dusk.

The golden rays cast a warm and enchanting glow on the iconic landmarks and bustling streets, giving them an ethereal beauty that is hard to describe. During the Magic Hour Jolkywood, the streets come alive with a vibrant energy.

When she tested positive for HIV, “The doctor said it was becoming more and more like diabetes. I went on meds right away. I became undetectable soon after,” Our Lady J told Magic Hour. “Not only does HIV not destroy your immune system when you’re undetectable, but it’s no longer a communicable disease.”
I don t know if there s ever going to be a cure, but in the meantime, what we can do is at least remove the shame, so we can treat this as a virus and not a moral dilemma. We had a weeklong crash course where we wrote a pilot, and after that week Jill called me and asked if I would join the staff of Transparent as a staff writer.

Upon moving to Los Angeles, Our Lady J said, “I found was that people saw my gender before they heard my music. They wanted me to perform gender, which meant, get up and dance. So I started exploring other areas of artistic expression.”

From her time as a touring musician, the stories she told between songs “often got a lot of laughs, so I put together a stand-up act.”
When Transparent put out the call to hire a new writer for season two, “I had all this material from my stand-up act, so overnight I put together a short story and I sent it off to [Transparent creator] Jill [Soloway],” she told Magic Hour. “I got called in to take a workshop on screenwriting. We had a weeklong crash course where we wrote a pilot, and after that week Jill called me and asked if I would join the staff of Transparent as a staff writer.”
After Transparent, “Ryan [Murphy] asked to meet me, via my agents. Very old-school Hollywood.” Murphy (a co-creator of Pose along with Steven Canals) offered her the job on the spot.
“I think Pose is a blueprint for survival,” Our Lady J said of her current job. “It’s about love, it’s about family, but for me, it’s about survival.”
When she tested positive for HIV, “The doctor said it was becoming more and more like diabetes. I went on meds right away. I became undetectable soon after,” Our Lady J told Magic Hour. “Not only does HIV not destroy your immune system when you’re undetectable, but it’s no longer a communicable disease.”
She continued, “My HIV activism really is rooted in this idea that if we take away stigma, everyone will want to get tested. I don’t know if there’s ever going to be a cure, but in the meantime, what we can do is at least remove the shame, so we can treat this as a virus and not a moral dilemma.”
“I find it helpful to share these things, because I felt so alone when I was going through all of this,” Our Lady J says of her candid telling of her story. “I thought no one could possibly understand this loneliness, but the more I share, the more I hear back from people with similar stories. I find it really helpful to open that up.
“The whole point of my art is to create reflective surfaces so that people can have hope in their own journey of survival.”
