Carmen Carrera Graces Front Page of CNN.com

Over the past few months, Carmen Carrera has gone from Logolebrity to international model and widely known transgender activist. The latest publicity for this knockout was a video segment on the front page of CNN's website.  The feature reviewed her rise in popularity, the struggles and challenges she's faced as a transgender woman in the modeling industry, and what the future holds for her. It also shows a behind the scenes look at a photo shoot for Glamour UK, her first international modeling opportunity! Carmen lets fans know that she has reached out to Victoria's Secret, and plans to audition for the show next year. She also spoke out on her fight to gain credibility for her talents rather than simply for being a transgendered model. 

Carmen's name has grown tremendously this year, having been more outspoken than ever before. In 2013 she was featured as a model on the runway and magazine covers alike! After a year of turning heads with her stomp down the Marco Marco Fashion Show runway and several successful photo shoots, it wasn't too surprising that a group of fans began a petition to have the body beautiful model given her very own Victoria's Secret wings. With appearances on Entertainment Tonight and Katie Couric's talk show, it's no wonder Carmen Carrera is slowly becoming one of the most talked about up and coming models. 

They always make it about 'Let's see your before. Let's see your after. And now what do your genitals look like?' It doesn't really give trans people the proper credit. Especially when you're working hard and you're doing things that not a lot of other trans people have been able to do. I have a crazy amount of creativity, and I'd rather just be respected for that! .... Whether it's being trans, or just being latin, these are things I'm proud of! Just because it's not respected by some, doesn't mean I'm not going to respect myself!
