HER STORY
CARRIE LYELL CAUGHT UP WITH WRITER, ACTRESS AND ACTIVIST JEN RICHARDS TO FIND OUT WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE A TRANS WOMAN IN HOLLYWOOD RIGHT NOW
JEN RICHARDS
Jen Richards is the co-writer and star of Emmy-nominated web series Her Story, about the lives and loves of two trans women in Los Angeles.
