Amiyah Scott Wiki/Bio

She was born as Arthur Scott on January 11, 1988, in Manhattan New York City but raised in New Orleans Lousiana. At an early age, Scott recognized that her personality didn’t fit into the male body she was born with.

As a result, she told her family that she no longer wanted to be male. Without her parent’s blessings, Scott underwent a partial transgender surgery at the age of 15 years and fully transitioned to a female at the age of 17.

Uncomfortable with her parent’s disapproval of her choice, Scott moved out of her family home and began making a living for herself. Undeterred by bullying and criticisms from her community, Scott went on to start a career in modelling, ballroom dancing as well as acting.

Shortly after she left home, her parents decided to accept her the way she was and became supportive of her career.

In no time, Scott was able to build a large social media following. She is known for her signature colorful eccentric wigs, makeup and entire fashion sense. She has named the likes of Rihanna and Lil’ Kim as her biggest style inspirations.

Amiyah boasts over 1.1 million followers on her Instagram account and over 195,000 Twitter followers. She is considered an inspiration and motivation to many transgender people. Scott is committed to being a voice for the LGBT community and looks up to fellow transgender actress Laverne Cox.
