Laverne Cox is an American actress, producer, and LGBTQ+ advocate. She is best known for her role as Sophia Burset in the Netflix series Orange Is the New Black, for which she was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. Cox is the first transgender person to be nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award in an acting category, and the first to win a Daytime Emmy Award.
Cox is a vocal advocate for the transgender community, and she has spoken out against discrimination and violence against transgender people. She is also a co-founder of the transgender advocacy organization Trans Lifeline.
On August 31, 2023, Cox announced that she is launching a new production company, Free Momma Productions. The company will focus on developing and producing content that tells the stories of marginalized communities, including transgender people.
Cox’s announcement was met with widespread praise from LGBTQ+ advocates and allies. Many people took to social media to express their support for Cox and her new venture.
“Laverne Cox is a true pioneer,” said GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis. “Her work has helped to change the way the world sees transgender people, and her new production company will continue to amplify the voices of marginalized communities.”
Cox’s announcement comes at a time when transgender people are facing increasing discrimination and violence. In 2023, at least 32 transgender people have been killed in the United States, according to the Human Rights Campaign.
Cox’s new production company will help to counter this violence by telling the stories of transgender people and their experiences. By sharing these stories, Cox hopes to create a more inclusive and just world for all.
