Good Trouble's Emma Hunton on Owning Her Sexuality Via Burlesque
Good Trouble premiered on Freeform in 2018, among the 20-somethings viewers met residing at the show’s communal living space The Coterie was Emma Hunton’s teacher and body-positive influencer, Davia.
Early in the show’s run, Davia proudly claimed her space by creating and posting a DIY music video of her song “Fat Bitch.” In the video that is a reclamation of self and a challenge to conventional standards, she sings, raps, and poses sexily in a bikini and faux fur jacket by the railroad tracks in downtown Los Angeles.
A viral hit within the show, the video cemented Davia and Hunton (for those unfamiliar with her extensive musical theater background) as a force on and off-screen.Now in its fourth season and leading up to the mid-season finale of the wildly queer-inclusive series (it is a spin-off of the beloved The Fosters, after all), Davia has embraced her body and sexuality through learning stunningly choreographed burlesque.
Last week’s episode featured Davia in a burlesque number in which she arrives on a swing in a giant birdcage — surely a metaphor for the spreading of her wings by engaging in the art form.
