00:00I am the identical twin sibling of the Emmy-winning producer,
00:05four-time Emmy-nominated actress, icon, and global superstar, Laverne Cox.
00:15I am very emotional tonight, not because I'm leaving,
00:19but because I have so much respect for my sister.
00:23I've never really spoken about her, but since she's the reason why I'm here,
00:27I want to say in front of the world, I love her so much.
00:32I think she is the most extraordinary person I've ever met.
00:36She has endured all kinds of insanity and continues to.
00:41She continues to stand with so much dignity and pride
00:45and go forward and be an inspiration for so many people.
00:49Her success is so much bigger than her.
00:52The number of black trans actresses who are in the covers of magazines,
00:56who are starring in television shows,
00:59all of that did not exist before my sister.
01:03And I just want to thank her and praise her.
