After her revival, she assumes the moniker of White Canary and is recruited by Rip Hunter to the Waverider crew. She is later killed in a fight and revived by the Lazarus Pit. However, it is revealed in the second season of ‘Arrow’ that she is alive and has assumed the vigilante identity of The Canary (later Black Canary) after being trained by the League of Assassins. Sara Lance is first introduced in the pilot episode of the sister series ‘ Arrow.’ She was presumed dead after the Queen’s Gambit submerged. Your time is now.What Happened To Sara Lance on Legends of Tomorrow? Don't forget that allowing yourself to be vulnerable is a sign of great strength, and that nurturing your mental and emotional health only makes you better equipped to support others. Your individual story, your fire, your dreams are what make you an absolutely crucial part of the fabric of this next chapter. I am so deeply inspired and humbled by the collective openness, curiosity and the determination of your generation. What is your message to future generations of queer people, coming of age right now? How do you want to instill hope in them? When those who are creating and writing and directing the stories are not diverse, we end up time and time again with watered down, two dimensional and often stereotypical representation that misses out on so much of the nuance and magic of diverse experiences. One thing the current gatekeepers are failing to realize is that simply adding more POC and LGBTQAI+ characters as subplots and quirky side kicks to bolster the storylines of white protagonists isn't enough. Only once the studio heads, network executives, programmers, financiers, casting and show runners are diverse will we begin to see diverse content organically created from experience, rather than imagination. I would diversify the industry from the top down. What's the first thing you do to make it a more inclusive environment for everyone? I love the Triangle Project in Cape Town, who do incredible legal advocacy, health care and community engagement work for the LGBTQAI+ community, and have dedicated support systems for POC trans individuals. Please also consider supporting an organization outside of the US, where a little can go a very long way. Support those who are already on the ground doing the work by researching grassroots organizations and if you have the means, donate. Find out what your local community is doing to support our trans siblings, and challenge them to do better. Self educate, then educate your family members. With Black trans women experiencing a horrifically disproportionate amount of violence and discrimination, this Pride, I implore you to question what you can do to support the most at risk members of our communities. We have seen the exclusion of the Black trans community from mainstream Pride events again and again worldwide. Pride celebrations are sadly no different. Pop culture has absorbed so much from the Black trans and queer community, and has given barely anything back. With Pride being born out of protest sparked by Black trans women, what encouragement would you like to give fans and family alike to get involved this Pride month? I find it hard to celebrate until safety and equal access to resources and healthcare is a reality for our global community. But Pride also stands as a powerful a reminder to me of just how far we still have to go, not just in terms of legalization, but in changing the hearts and minds of societies. What I am most proud of this Pride is the unbelievable strength, resilience and compassion of my LGBTQAI+ siblings. When filming in South Africa and learning that homophobic and transphobic hate crimes such as corrective rape, violent attacks and the murder of POC LGBTQAI+ individuals are a frequent occurrence with shockingly low rates of conviction, and then filming in Vancouver, where there are police created 'safe space' rainbow stickers in every other shop window, the disparity between the global experiences of LGBTQAI+ individuals haunts me. But the more I've traveled, the less prideful I've begun to feel. Growing up, Pride was such an exciting and affirming time for me. As we find ourselves in a Pride season unlike any other, with the country battling a pandemic while rising up to tackle the systemic oppression that's plagued Black Americans for decades, how has your personal definition of Pride changed or shifted this year?
