LAVERNE COX, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

Laverne Cox is a three-time Emmy-nominated actress, an Emmy-winning documentary film producer, and a prominent equal rights advocate and public speaker. Her groundbreaking role in the critically acclaimed Netflix original series Orange Is the New Black brought her to the attention of diverse audiences around the world. This role led to Laverne becoming the first openly transgender actress to be nominated for a primetime acting Emmy. Laverne also holds two SAG Awards, with her Orange Is the New Black cast mates. An artist and advocate with an empowering message of moving beyond gender expectations to live more authentically, Laverne is the first openly transgender person to appear on the covers of Time, Cosmopolitan, Vogue, and Essence magazines. She is the executive producer of Free CeCe! and the Emmy-winning documentary Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word.
