Who Plays Fatima On The Chi? Transgender Actress L'lerrt Jazelle Biography

"A local journalist who wants the best for her area and isn't afraid to bring politicians' feet to the fire to obtain the truth" is how Showtime portrays the character Fatima. 

The friendship between Trig (Luke James) and Fatima, a reporter and community activist played by L'lerrét Jazelle, is featured in the fifth season of The Chi. Fatima offers a dilemma for Trig: she's someone he finds appealing, but she's also someone he believes he can't be with, at least not in public, since she's trans.

They are aware that Trig is now trying to make a political run. It appears that because Trig is a well-liked character, the audience has developed strong feelings for him.

Trig appears to be aware of the dangers of dating a journalist who is also a politician, yet he still feels a connection to Fatima. Since she hasn't shown any clear indications that she's on a mission to eliminate Trig, viewers may be more likely to do the same for the time being. With that stated, Fatima has spoken with Trig about her concerns over his foray into politics. She went up to him first to see if he had a problem with her being a transwoman.

He basically informed her that he liked ladies and that because she was a woman, he didn't see an issue. Fatima seems receptive to the response, but she also made it plain that although she doesn't mind keeping their relationship a secret, she in no way wants to be anyone's secret. That may seem a little foreboding in terms of what is ahead for these two, but let's wait and see how things turn out. (As an aside, Lena Waithe and the show's creators continue to merit praise for their inclusive casting and storylines.)
