ISIS KING

Model and actress Isis King became a public figure when she appeared in the 11th and 17th cycle of America’s Next Top Model as the first trans woman to appear in the show. As she recalls, King was born male but felt like she was a girl trapped in a boy’s body.

She went on and got her degree in design and illustration and moved into New York with hopes of earning big for her transition. However, she almost fell into bankruptcy and moved into a homeless center for LGBTQ youths. On the bright side, this was where she learned most things in life and helped her with her journey to become a full-fledged woman.
