The first official trailer for Not Your Average Girl is here—and it’s more than just a sneak peek. Directed by Hope Giselle and co-produced with the creative vision of NOT | JAX Productions ™, this film was brought to life in partnership with Pop Culture Collaborative under the Becoming America initiative. What began as a love story in Until Death Do Us Part has grown into a cinematic declaration of truth, transformation, and unapologetic Black trans brilliance.

​

Not Your Average Girl is a journey through survival and becoming—a visual memoir that dares to tell the story behind the spotlight. From growing up in the South to standing in her power at the 2025 BET Black & Iconic Awards, Hope offers viewers a raw and intimate look at the trials, triumphs, and tenderness that shaped her. This is a love letter to every Black trans girl who’s ever been told she wouldn’t make it—and a reckoning with the systems that tried to silence her.

​

This trailer is your invitation to witness a story never meant to be told—told in full color, full heart, and full truth. The full film arrives August 2025. But for now, press play. What’s coming next will shift the narrative—and stay with you long after the credits roll.
