TRANSCENDENT on Fuse TV chronicles the multi-faceted lives of a group of bold and vibrant trans women who perform at the AsiaSF Cabaret and Restaurant in SF while creating their own surrogate family. Sister Dana was privileged to view the first two riveting half-hour episodes of six at AsiaSF during a screen­ing party. World Of Wonder, run by executive producers Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey, also is behind Fuse’s Big Freedia, the network’s high­est-rated series.
