- Memoir traces Cox’s journey as a transgender woman in Hollywood from childhood to career success
In “Transcendent,” Cox reflects on her path to becoming a groundbreaking performer and producer. The memoir is structured in three parts and covers her early struggles, including a traumatic childhood and battles with depression that nearly led her to abandon her Hollywood dreams before her career-defining role in “Orange is the New Black.”
Cox has since built a distinguished career across acclaimed productions including “Inventing Anna,” “Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce,” and “Clean Slate.” She made history as the first transgender executive producer to win a Daytime Emmy Award for “Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word,” and continues to advocate for LGBTQ rights through her platform as a red-carpet icon and podcast host.
