She competed on Project Runway’s eight season as Andy South, a gay man. She told Logo, she began her transition before the show though, “What people don’t know is that I actually started my transition before ‘Project Runway,’ [and] I had stopped right before I went to New York…it just would’ve complicated a lot of things.” She continued, “What I realized in the past two years, after being on television, was that I was still missing something, and that was really living in the body I wanted. I am blessed to be so accepted and welcomed just the way I am. May that love flow through me and onto many others. Live in love for the world needs it.”
