Laverne Cox explores how the intersections of race, class, and gender uniquely affect the lives of trans women of color. Laverne draws from her own personal narrative to share how she has been able to navigate the world and all its challenges. From growing up in Mobile, Alabama, raised by a single mother in a Christian family, to attending college in New York City to pursue a career as an actress, to finally finding the courage to step into the womanhood she always knew at heart was her destiny, Cox tells the story of the unique challenges along her journey to womanhood, professional achievement, self-acceptance, and love.
Laverne will answer questions related to transgender representation in the media and the challenges of pursuing an acting career. She will also speak about different acting roles within her career including the critically acclaimed 'Orange is the New Black' and the upcoming CBS drama 'Doubt,' which will premiere in early 2017.
