Real-life model and LGBTQ+ activist Harlow Monroe interprets a transgender woman with an unlikely dream in this film for fashion brand Diesel.

This year, timed for Pride Month, it created a new story that reminds everyone of the importance of living your own best truth, undisturbed and free of prejudice.
