Kai Shappley

Kai is an 11-year-old American actress, activist, and author. When she was in kindergarten, she stood up to the Texas State Legislature against their attack on trans kids. Her journey was recorded in the Emmy-winning documentary, Trans in America: Texas Strong. She has also guest starred in the first season of The Babysitters Club on Netflix. She loves her family, friends, pets, and Dolly Parton!

She currently lives in one of the three states in the USA that have specific laws to protect families of transgender children from extradition. As political refugees having to relocate for the third time, their hope is that people will learn more about what is happening to transgender people and those who support them and use whatever gift or talent they have to help #ProtectTransKids.

One action Kai would like everyone to take:

“Find your own way to use your gift or talent to help protect trans kids.”
