2014-11-10 Role Model: Andreja Pejic’s Mission of Love & Acceptance

World-renowned androgynous supermodel Andreja Pejic first made waves in the fashion industry working men’s shows as Andrej. Now, with a recent public transition into womanhood, Pejic, known now as Andreja, is hoping to make more waves with a documentary about her life in the fashion industry — which she’s looking to fund via a Kickstarter campaign — and the realities she is now facing being openly transgender.

The movie surpassed its initial goal of $40,000, and is currently looking for more funding “to cover principal photography and travel throughout the United States, France, UK, Serbia and Australia,” according to its Kickstarter page. “Eric, our director, will do what he needs to do to make sure the entire journey is filmed. With the great footage we capture we will have enough leverage to sign a deal with a distributor that loves the project. We will not give up! With your support we will produce the best and most professional festival-going documentary possible.”

Having crossed paths with Pejic — and myself having a similar experience — I wanted her take on a transgendered life. Here’s what she had to share with TheBlot Magazine:

Arisce Wanzer: How are you girl? Long time no see! It’s been nearly a year since our Purple magazine shoot with Mario Sorrenti, yes? Anyways, let’s cut straight to it: How was your stint back home in Australia?

Andreja Pejic: Hey, girl, hey! I am doing very good actually, thank you! And it really has been a long time, hasn’t it? I’ve had a great time being back; although it’s changed a bit, it’s mostly all good. Being with my mother and family has been really nice, too — a kind of battery recharge. I got to visit my old school, too, where the students petitioned and won the rights to a trans-friendly bathroom facility. Great strides have been made down under, to say the least.

That’s fantastic! How does it feel revealing the real you after years and years of questions about your gender and sexuality?

It feels really good, very freeing, actually. I can finally be myself in every situation, instead of trying to be what others expected.

Word on the grape vine is that you’ve switched New York agencies on us. Where are you now? Do you feel comfortable with the change?

Clearly I’m changing everything! (laughs) I’m at The Society now, and I like them very much so far. I feel right at home.

So, can we put to rest the rumor I’ve been pining to know more about? Will you be one of Ariel’s sisters in Sophia Coppola’s live-action production of “The Little Mermaid?”

I can neither confirm or deny that I’ve been cast in that film … but I will confirm that I was at the casting.

2014-11-8 The Youth. The Inspiration. The World.

Andreja's story is a global one and has had a huge impact on youth around the world. From all over - North America, Asia, Russia, Europe, the Middle East, and South America, Andreja has received thousands of notes of support and love and thanks from kids and young adults who are finding strength in Andreja's message.

Her story has given so many the strength to be true to themselves and know they are not alone. And, in return, they have inspired us and given us the motivation to continue onwards through some of our most difficult times.

Our hope as we move through principal photography is to capture as many of their stories as possible. We truly believe the work and courage of the youth of this world, this new generation, will bring us all to a new level of understanding and acceptance. It's this beautiful wave already upon us and washing away long held and outdated beliefs.

While we were in Melbourne, we met and spoke with a number of incredible and diverse groups of people including Transgender Victoria and Minus18, Australia's largest youth-led organization for same-sex attracted and gender diverse young people. They made a small video of support for us. See above!

Thank you to the entire LGBTQI community of Melbourne. And to those we missed, we promise you, we will be back.
