In Horse Barbie, Rocero tells the story of how she found herself in trans pageants in the Philippines. While competitors mocked her as “Horse Barbie” because of her tall figure, long neck, and dark skin, she owned the name and became the nation’s highest-earning trans pageant queen. But when she moved to the United States, she had to hide her identity. As her career as a model flourished, she struggled with her secret. This double life forced her to decide if she wanted to continue to suffer in silence or reclaim her title and power. Ultimately, Horse Barbie is a heartfelt story of resilience, activism and joy.
