TRANS RESILIENCE AND FAMILY REBUILDING: MARSHMALLOW’S SONG AND THE HOPEFUL HOLIDAY REMINDER QUEER PEOPLE NEED

In Bob’s Burgers Season 15, Episode 6, 'Hope N’ Mic Night,' Marshmallow—a 23-year-old Black trans sex worker and fan favorite since the very first season—emerges not just as the hero of the night, but as a symbol of the journey towards rebuilding and reconciling with the complexities of family, both past and present. Voiced by Jari Jones for the first time since the character's introduction, Marshmallow takes the stage to perform a song dedicated to her parents—the first and ONLY time they’ve ever heard her sing.
