Actress, singer, author and reality television personality, Jayne also starred as Roxie Hart in the iconic, long-running Broadway musical of Bob Fosse’s Chicago in 2020 (she shined in the 80 performances she was able to do before the global pandemic shut down The Great White Way for a couple of years).

Check out the new Art Cover in @photobookmagazine “Glorious,” the extraordinary debut album from the Oscar nominated actor, will blow people’s minds—and touch their souls. If ever there was an event in the recent pop cultural zeitgeist that feels more like a “Yes, please” moment, the imminent release of Kate Hudson’s debut album, “Glorious,” is it. In a word, upon first listening to Hudson’s dozen songs on the album—working alongside Johan Carlsson, Danny Fujikawa and Linda Perry—evokes an unexpected emotion: joy. From the mid-tempo, foot-tapping “Talk About Love” to the acoustic and spare “Live Forever” to the driving, carnal “Gonna Find Out,” “Glorious” was the only possible title that embraces all the feels the Academy Award nominated actor is singing about. Glorious indeed.

Meet Samirah. @girlsandorgasms Samirah (she/her) arrived at the Ali Forney Center on a rainy, Wednesday morning in 2013. She was 20 years old, having just been kicked out of her home by her mother. Samie recalls her time at AFC as liberating and challenging. It was full of love and new experiences. During her tenure, she experienced a lot of firsts – learning how to navigate a whole new world and the systems within it. After AFC, Samie’s struggle with homelessness was not over. She faltered a bit, but eventually landed on her two feet, finding employment back with AFC. She started on AFC’s Outreach team for 6 months – finding at-risk youth and guiding them to the Ali Forney Center. She then spent 2.5 years working in support services, doing everything from being a friendly face at our welcome desk to de-escalating situations at the Drop-In Center. @aliforneycenter @photobookmagazine Creative Director + Photographer + Producer @mikeruizone Wardrobe Stylist @718blonde @exclusiveartists Hair Stylist @coreytuttlehair Makeup Artist @byrdartistry Fashion Stylist Interns: @hannagflores @mx.aayush Clothing: Red top by Stylist Own Necklace by Nicole Amato @nicoleamatonyc * * * * #photobookmagazine # LGBT #Loveislove #PrideMonth #Housing #MentalHealth #AliForneyCenter #LGBTQ +Youth #Out #community #identity #mikeruizphotgraphy

Met Sam. @sammyratelle Sam (he/him) was kicked out of his home in his late teens and found himself in NYC without support or a community. Sam arrived at AFC at 19, and discovered a foundation to get back on his feet to go back out into the world with a stronger sense of opportunity. At AFC, Sam found guidance on his young adult journey of learning about the importance of having a roof over one’s head, how to pay bills, establish career goals, and how to take care of his physical and mental health. For Sam, AFC made this an easy process. After finding his footing at AFC, Sam set off with a goal to make his name in the world. Today, Sam is an internationally recognized director, writer, costume designer and artist showcasing his artistic visions and stunts at major profile events such as The Met Gala, The Grammy‘s, The Academy Awards, The Tony Awards, The Golden Globes, NYC World Pride and countless others. His works have been shown at the Victoria & Albert Museum, ACMI - The Australian Centre for the Moving Image and he is a curator at the Museum of Broadway in Times Square and most recently a guest curator at Kensington Palace for the institution’s largest exhibition in the history of the palace, which opened to critical acclaim entitled, ‘Crown to Couture’. Sam and his work have been covered in outlets such as The New York Times, Forbes, Vogue, The Hollywood Reporter, Vanity Fair, GQ, Time and many others. @aliforneycenter @photobookmagazine Creative Director + Photographer + Producer @mikeruizone Wardrobe Stylist @718blonde @exclusiveartists Hair Stylist @coreytuttlehair Makeup Artist @byrdartistry Fashion Stylist Interns: @hannagflores @mx.aayush Clothing: Suit by Akobimen at The Confessional Showroom @akobiofficial @the_confessional_showroom_nyc * * * * #photobookmagazine # LGBT #Loveislove #PrideMonth #Housing #MentalHealth #AliForneyCenter #LGBTQ +Youth #Out #community #identity #mikeruizphotgraphy

Meet Terence. @nysocialbee Terence (he/him) arrived at the Ali Forney Center at the age of 18, having come to New York City from Michigan in search of a career in fashion and an LGBTQ+ affirming environment. According to Terence, his time at AFC shaped him. It was the landscape behind his early years in NYC and defined the opportunities that were available to him. The internship program at AFC placed Terence roles with OUT Magazine and DNA Models, where he was able to cultivate his love for crafting experiences within NYC nightlife. After his tenure with the Ali Forney Center, Terence dove headfirst into the world of nightlife, working with various venues and DJs. His events include cultivating the List is Closed party at Le Bain, a residency at the Standard Hotel, organizing the Stuntsz queer party, curating a Pride month interview campaign for fotografiska, and facilitating a partnership with 818 Tequila. @aliforneycenter @photobookmagazine Creative Director + Photographer + Producer @mikeruizone Wardrobe Stylist @718blonde @exclusiveartists Hair Stylist @coreytuttlehair Makeup Artist @byrdartistry Fashion Stylist Interns: @hannagflores @mx.aayush Clothing: Coat by Jevon Terance + Flower at The Confessional Showroom @jevonterance @the_confessional_showroom_nyc * * * * #photobookmagazine # LGBT #Loveislove #PrideMonth #Housing #MentalHealth #AliForneyCenter #LGBTQ +Youth #Out #community #identity #mikeruizphotgraphy

Meet Maddox. Maddox (he/him/they/them) arrived at the Ali Forney Center’s doors at the age of 20. After leaving home and school to couchsurf with friends in the hopes of building an authentic life, Maddox heard about AFC during an internship at MoMA. Upon arriving at AFC Maddox had a clear goal – employment. In addition to gaining housing and respite, Maddox knew that to have a chance at a stable future, he needed money to stand on his own and a job that would fulfill him. Having previously faced discrimination in the job market for being trans, Maddox was comforted by the nurturing and supportive environment at the Ali Forney Center that would enable him to kickstart his career in advocacy. Today, Maddox is a self-proclaimed Social Impact Visionary. He has spent his years after graduating AFC working alongside the organization, joining the advocacy department. He brought forth an idea for a direct-cash transfer program that is now being piloted beyond AFC and throughout the country, in states such as Maryland, Oregon, Vermont, and California. As a part of AFC’s Technical Assistance team, Maddox relishes the opportunity to work with communities to advise and mentor similar national and international organizations on the successful model of the Ali Forney Center’s Programs. @aliforneycenter @photobookmagazine Creative Director + Photographer + Producer @mikeruizone Wardrobe Stylist @718blonde @exclusiveartists Hair Stylist @coreytuttlehair Makeup Artist @byrdartistry Fashion Stylist Interns: @hannagflores @mx.aayush Clothing: Blazer by Catou at The Confessional Showroom @catouwear @the_confessional_showroom_nyc * * * * #photobookmagazine # LGBT #Loveislove #PrideMonth #Housing #MentalHealth #AliForneyCenter #LGBTQ +Youth #Out #community #identity #mikeruizphotgraphy

Meet Kimberly. @saykimberlyhoward At the age of 16, Kimberly left home of her own volition in search of an affirming environment where she could embrace her identity and live authentically as a trans woman. She wandered the streets of NYC until years later, a friend brought her to the Ali Forney Center. At AFC, Kimberly found a safe place to lay her head down. She found acceptance with folks who looked like her, who understood her story and wanted to help her succeed – and succeed she did. After finding success through AFC’s internship program and getting back on her feet, she developed a career in social services and public health, playing a vital role in the COVID-19 Pandemic Emergency Response and committing to giving back to the communities around her. Today, Kimberly proudly serves on the Board of the Ali Forney Center, the Board of FIERCE, and the Board of the Michelle Obama Community Democratic Club. She recently earned her Certificate in Cannabis Law and Business from Rutgers University and has goals of becoming a Cannabis Business Lawyer. Today we celebrate Kimberly’s success. We celebrate her resilience, perseverance, and commitment to living her best life authentically. The Ali Forney Center fights to ensure the safe and successful futures of all LGBTQ+ youth who arrive at our doors. Youth are Pride’s future, and supporting them is investing in a brighter, more colorful, more inclusive future. Join us. Link in bio to support the good fight. @aliforneycenter @photobookmagazine Creative Director + Photographer + Producer @mikeruizone Wardrobe Stylist @718blonde @exclusiveartists Hair Stylist @coreytuttlehair Makeup Artist @byrdartistry Fashion Stylist Interns: @hannagflores @mx.aayush Clothing: Gloves @haleia @the_confessional_showroom_nyc Jewelry @pianegonda.jewelry * * * * #photobookmagazine # LGBT #Loveislove #PrideMonth #Housing #MentalHealth #AliForneyCenter #LGBTQ +Youth #Out #community #identity #mikeruizphotgraphy

Anna Próchniak, a Polish actress trained in dance and theater, has starred in many award- nominated projects, including “The Innocents,” “Oleg,” and “Warsaw 44.” Her work is often thought-provoking and filled with intricate story lines that might challenge a performer. Yet she manages to portray them with ease. Her latest project, “The Tattooist of Auschwitz,” is a moving story of tragedy and love, told through the memories of Lale Sokolov, a survivor of the Holocaust. Sokolov is tasked with tattooing numbers onto the arms of prisoners, where he first meets Gita Furman, played by Próchniak.
