Isis King

Isis King was born on October 1, 1985, and grew up to become a model, actress, and fashion designer. She started her career appearing in America’s Next Top Model in both the eleventh and seventeenth cycle. She received credit for becoming the first transgender woman to compete in the reality TV series. Before she joined the show, she was living at the Ali Forney Transitional Living Program. She auditioned for the eleventh season and asked if she could be accepted as a girl born in the wrong body.

Tyra Banks was impressed with the results of her photoshoot and asked her staff to reach out to King. She, later on, returned during the All-Star Cycle along with 13 others. She was eliminated in the third week of the competition. She was hoping to break the stigma surrounding the LGBTQ community.
