The biggest misconception about me is definitely that I'm a man. I'll state that I'm proudly a heterosexual woman - Chiedza Mhende

When people come to me and tell me that I feel proud to have done my job the correct way and raise awareness

I don’t ever have to take off my top (to confirm my gender) because people stare at my breasts anyway. All the time. It has really empowered me and my body because I often have to say to people ‘you know you’re staring right?’.

I'm a straight woman who has now played a transsexual character, and was able to fool you as possibly a heterosexual man. Don't ever let your sexuality stop you from being whatever you want to be, whether is in storytelling or real-life
