520 8 |a Laverne Cox is a powerhouse in the fight for transgender rights and representation - but her 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 40 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. She made history as the first openly transgender person nominated for a Primetime Emmy, starred in a range of high-profile shows, and became the first transgender person to win a Daytime Emmy as executive producer on Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word. In this book, you will experience life in Laverne's shoes, from her childhood abuse to making her big break, dealing with Hollywood bureaucracy, and finding her voice through the chaos of it all.
