Kerri Colby is living her full Oprah fantasy in her new WOW Presents Plus series.
Aptly titled Kerri Kares, the wholesome, agony-aunt style show follows the star as she candidly touches upon a variety of topics, from confidence to relationships and relevant LGBTQ+ issues.

In one of the franchise’s most beautiful moments, Jasmine Kennedie came out as trans to her fellow contestants and cited Kerri’s unabashed confidence as her reason for doing so.

Kerri tells GAY TIMES that she and World of Wonder were dedicated to making the most “authentic and real” series for her fans – who she calls her “Kerbears” – after her highly-esteemed run on season 14.
“I wanted to showcase more of me and what I care about, and a big portion of what I care about is my fans and the people around me,” Kerri says, before explaining that it’s important for her to be the positive trans representation in mainstream media that she once craved.
While she believes in “divine timing” in regards to her own gender identity journey, Kerri admits: “If I had more support, I would’ve done a lot more of my, ‘Duh, just get it over with’ decisions sooner and wouldn’t
