Dr. Ronnie Gladden, like many young ladies, dreamed of living a Pride & Prejudice lifestyle, wanted to be like Snow White, and wanted to wear the same clothes as Elle Fanning.
Ronnie dreamt of having blonde hair that lightened in the summer and of tanning while lounging in the sun.
But because Ronnie was a black youngster growing up on Cincinnati’s west side, his goals weren’t your average ones. Ronnie, who is now middle-aged, is an actor,
Public speaker, and tenured English professor at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. He utilizes these roles to advocate for what he refers to as a “transgracial” identity.
Ronnie, who uses the pronoun they, claims that despite being born black and male, she now identifies as a white woman despite looks, claiming that she has a “repressed White female identity” that is aching to be unleashed.
