Peppermint on Survival of the Thickest, Trans Rights, and Celebrity Traitors

Peppermint joins The Cutting Up, and the gloves are OFF.The icon, activist, and 2026 NYC Pride Grand Marshal comes through for what starts as a springtime kiki, and ends up being one of our most honest, most necessary conversations yet. From shouting out Sinners to going all the way in on Caitlyn Jenner's cheerleading for Trump, travel bans hitting the community, celebrity non-apologies, the TLC/Chilli tour mess, and the very specific double standards Black queer people have to navigate. Peppermint says what she says. ☕🔥We talk about her return to Netflix’s Survival of the Thickest, and she introduces us to something we didn't know we needed: Transcendence Tea, her caffeine-free vanilla-mint blend made in collaboration with Chicago’s queer Black-owned Moody Teas. And it’s blue! A portion of proceeds goes to Advocates for Trans Equality, the organization that helps Peppermint through her own name and document changes.She celebrates: ✨ Being named NYC Pride Grand Marshal 🎬 Her return to Netflix’s Survival of the Thickest 🌈 Why representation in Harlem still mattersMessy.
