She later reached an even wider audience through The L Word: Generation Q. As Gigi Ghorbani, Moafi became part of an ensemble exploring the lives and relationships of LGBTQ+ characters in Los Angeles. Gigi’s Iranian background added another dimension to the role, allowing the series to explore cultural identity alongside sexuality and family relationships.
The character also resonated with audiences because Gigi was not defined solely by her cultural or sexual identity. She was presented as a multifaceted person with her own ambitions, vulnerabilities, relationships, and conflicts. Moafi’s performance helped make Gigi one of the memorable characters of the series.
