CBSN
Leyna Bloom, the first transgender cover model for Sports Illustrated's celebrated Swimsuit Issue, says she was born to be on the cover and believes it is a moment that will change the world.
In March, Bloom became the first transgender woman of color and the second transgender model ever to be featured in the Swimsuit Issue. Bloom was then announced as one of the cover stars in July, alongside rapper Megan Thee Stallion, who made history as the first female rapper, and tennis star Naomi Osaka, the first Haitian and Japanese woman athlete. "I knew that the responsibility of this was about to change my life," Bloom told CBSN. "I never thought I would get it."More Related News
