Laverne Cox Talks Protecting Trans Lives for Pride Month: Legacy Maker
All the world’s a stage, and Lennon Torres is going to dance her heart out on it.
The Dance Moms alum has seen some big changes in the past 12 months. On March 2, 2021, she began her medical transition. On May 30, 2021, she publicly came out as trans in a “life update” on TikTok.
