Resisting, Elevating, and Humanizing with Laverne Cox

from Next Question with Katie Couric

More than a decade ago, Katie asked a question she now regrets—one that sparked a meeting with her guest today, Laverne Cox. In this deeply personal conversation, the two revisit that moment and the friendship that grew from it. Laverne shares why she believes transformation is still possible–even under the Trump administration—if we're willing to be uncomfortable and to listen. They also tackle the rising wave of anti-trans legislation, the right-wing propaganda machine, and how fascism takes root. It's part masterclass, part catch-up, and a powerful reminder that teachable moments can change more than one life—they can change the culture.
