Geena Rocero
Before Geena Roccero came out as transgender, everyone knew her as a model. They only learned that she was a boy at first when she announced it during a Ted Talk back in 2014. Geena was super nervous to give her speech because she knew that it would change her life forever. She had gender reassignment surgery when she was 19 years old. She was scared that after this, people wouldn’t see her as a real woman anymore. Her hope for the future is that the fashion world will hire more trans models because their stories need to be told.
