For Vivian Jenna Wilson, ‘activist’ isn’t a label she’s looking to try on per se. Yet, as a young trans woman coming to terms with Trump America 2.0, staying silent isn’t an option. While she’s set her sights on a modelling career as she made her Paris Fashion Week debut this season at Vivienne Westwood and Ottolinger, it’s her unwavering commitment to advocating for trans rights, access to free healthcare and more equal wealth distribution that’s turning heads. “I don’t really care if people call me an activist or not,” she says for her Schön! 49 digital cover story. “I advocate for trans rights, because that’s something I need to do… You have to be political as a trans person.”

In the 25 years since Erykah Badu’s sophomore album ‘Mama’s Gun’, the multi-hyphenate artist has achieved a rare but sweet taste of timelessness. The album brought an innovative zest to neo-soul that continues to bridge generations. Badu says she never doubted its potential. “You don’t have to be some special, brilliant person. You just have to be willing to do it and explore,” she says over a Zoom call for her Schön! 49 digital cover story. “The role of an artist is to immerse themselves in the process because the thing itself is actually not the art. The art is the doing: it’s the taking part and the figuring it out.”
