Strut was a groundbreaking reality series that premiered on Oxygen in 2016. The show followed a group of models from Slay Model Management, which is the world's first exclusively transgender modeling agency. The series explored themes related to body positivity, the LGBT community, and the fashion world.

The main cast of Strut included Dominique Jackson, Isis King, Laith Ashley, Arisce Wanzer, and Ren Spriggs. Dominique Jackson was one of the standout stars of the show. She was born in Tobago and began her transition at the age of 18. She moved to the United States and became a successful model and actress. Isis King was the first transgender model to compete on America's Next Top Model. She also starred in the film Hello Forever. Laith Ashley was born in Harlem and began his transition at the age of 23. He quickly made a name for himself as a model and has worked with major brands like Barney's and H&M.

Throughout the series, the models faced a variety of challenges as they tried to make it in the fashion industry. This included everything from photo shoots to runway shows. One of the most interesting aspects of the show was how it explored the tensions that exist between the LGBT community and the fashion industry. For example, in the very first episode, Isis King expressed frustration that she was only being offered modeling jobs that were specifically for transgender models. She wanted to be cast in mainstream campaigns for major brands.

The series also explored the personal lives of the models. Dominique Jackson discussed her struggles with addiction and the challenges she faced as a transgender woman of color. Laith Ashley talked about how he felt isolated growing up and how his transition brought him closer to his family. Ren Spriggs was open about the bullying she faced in high school for being transgender.

One of the most memorable moments from the show was when the models appeared in a photo shoot for a genderfluid clothing line. The shoot was incredibly empowering, with the models wearing a variety of outfits and makeup looks. The episode highlighted the importance of representation in media and how fashion can be used to promote diversity and inclusivity.

Overall, Strut was a groundbreaking series that shed light on important issues facing the transgender community. It was also an entertaining and engaging show that showcased the talents of a group of incredibly inspiring models. While the series only lasted one season, it left a lasting impression on viewers and raised awareness about the challenges that transgender individuals face in the fashion industry and in their personal lives.
