Amiyah Scott

Amiyah Scott has made a notable transition from a social media personality to an acclaimed actress and advocate, using her platform to champion transgender visibility and self-acceptance. After being cast in the eighth season of ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ in 2015, Amiyah Scott made history as the first transgender woman to join the franchise. Her casting followed significant internet recognition, stemming from widely shared videos of her performances within the LGBT ball community and a prominent presence on platforms like Instagram, where a powerful before-and-after photo showcasing her transition garnered widespread attention. Scott later departed from the series, upholding her commitment to authentic representation and expressing concerns regarding the portrayal of her trans identity.

She is slated to appear as Aminah in the upcoming feature ‘Operation: Aunties,’ scheduled for release in 2025, further solidifying her diverse career across entertainment and activism.
