Quotes from Carmen Carrera

It would be pretty amazing for Victoria's Secret to be that huge corporation that embraces trans women. We shop there as well.

Respectable transwomen were not as visible and very unclear in how they defined themselves. I had no one to look up to, pre-transition.

As someone who's visible, I feel it's part of my responsibility to have a voice for trans people because the fight is not necessarily on television. The fight is every day.

I always try to think about what I can do to let people know that I'm just like everyone else. I have two girls here at home I'm trying to raise. I'm trying to be a good stepmom. I'm trying to stay fit and be a good model and break ground in the acting world. I'm working that same struggle every other woman is trying to work.

Being a voice for my community is something that I don't take lightly.

Loyalty is my favorite quality in a 'bestie.'
