Halle Maria Berry (born Maria Halle Berry; August 14, 1966) is an American actress. Berry won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in the romantic drama film Monster's Ball (2001), becoming the only woman of African American descent and the only woman of color to have won the award.
Halle Berry, Brie Larson and Selena Gomez are just three of the big names on an open letter of love to the transgender community, in honor of Women’s History Month and Transgender Day of Visibility. “Trans women and girls have been an integral part of the fight for gender liberation.
