Born in Mobile\, Alabama\, she studied at the Alabama School of Fine Arts before pursuing acting in New York City. Cox has been a trailblazer for transgender representation in media\, using her platform to advocate for trans rights and visibility. She made history again as the first transgender person to win a Daytime Emmy as an executive producer for Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word. Beyond acting\, she is a sought-after speaker and activist\, working to challenge discrimination and promote inclusivity. She is also host of her own podcast by iHeartRadio and Shondaland: The Laverne Cox Show. She resides in New York City. \nLaverne Cox’ path from a struggling trans actress to a cultural movement was anything but easy. Surviving a childhood full of trauma\, dealing with depression\, and working at a drag restaurant in New York City for seven years\, Laverne was turning forty and felt it was time to throw in the towel when it came to being a Hollywood star—then she booked the character of Sophia Burset in Orange is the New Black. Her world changed overnight. \nIn Transcendent\, you will experience life in Laverne’s shoes\, from her childhood abuse to making her big break\, dealing with Hollywood bureaucracy\, feeling lonely in a world that is unaccepting\, and finding her voice through the chaos of it all. With behind-the-scenes stories and personal reflection\, we can heal and fight for equality\, right alongside Laverne.
