First Look: "Laverne Cox Presents The T Word" Spotlights Trans Youth
On October 17, Logo and MTV join forces for a powerful one-hour documentary, Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word, airing simultaneously on both networks.
Part of MTV’s Look Different campaign—aimed at fighting racial, gender and LGBT bias—The T Word explores the intersection of race and gender identity through the journey of seven young trans people from around the country:
“The cast members in this documentary are fearlessly living their truths and in sharing their stories," says Emmy nominated actress and trans activist Laverne Cox, who produces and co-stars in the documentary. "[And] will send the message to other trans youth that it’s okay to be who you are.”
Immediately following The T Word‘s premiere, Laverne and the T Word cast will appear in a one-hour Trans Forum with MTV News’ SuChin Pak live, airing on Logo TV and streaming on MTV.com.
Below, check out a first look at Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word airing Friday, October 17, at 7 pm ET on Logo and MTV.
