Laverne Cox cemented her icon status and made history in 2017 when she became the first transgender person to be nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award in any acting category for playing Sophia Burset on Orange Is the New Black!

Orange Is the New Black premiered 10 years ago today!
To celebrate the anniversary of this beloved and ground-breaking series, we'll be looking back at the characters, scenes, and performers who helped make OITNB truly special.
When you log onto Netflix today, you will see a carefully curated list of titles that only begin to tell the complex and layered stories about racial injustice and Blackness in America. https://t.co/dN6XQmsrGK
When we say “Black Lives Matter,” we also mean “Black storytelling matters.”
With an understanding that our commitment to true, systemic change will take time – we're starting by highlighting powerful and complex narratives about the Black experience.
@staceyabrams says we think of power as a system, but it’s nothing more than people. The same people who carve prejudices, and the same people who vote to steal our power are the ones who hold it now, and we have to understand the difference. @OITNB#OITNB#OITNBCOLOROFCHANGE
