Carmen Carrera will reportedly be hosting a documentary about trans* women that Tyra Banks has signed on to produce.
‘TransAmerica’ will be an eight-part looking at the lives of different transwomen across America.
VH1’s executive VP for programming Susan Levinson had this to say:
“It would be easy to focus on the transgender aspect, but this series is about so much more.
“This is a show about a group of compelling, gorgeous young friends who are on a unique journey while staying true to their authentic selves. We believe that message resonates.”
Tyra Banks had this to say:
“TransAmerica is a groundbreaking docuseries that will blow the roof off stereotypes and set the record straight as we experience the lives of these fun, stunning women.
“I am so happy to be a part of telling their fierce story.”
Carmen Carrera said: “Being a woman means everything to me.
“Before my transition I felt trapped, and now I’ve been set free. Carmen has arrived and I can’t wait to share my story.”
‘Orange is the New Black’ actress Laverne Cox is reportedly working on a separate documentary about trans* teenagers which is set to air on MTV and Logo this Autumn.
