Nike NYC - #Equality The wonder woman of Vogue Leiomy Maldonado (2017) :60 (USA)

Leiomy Maldonado, the only transgender person to compete in "Americas best dance crew", practices and performs in this ad, while Precious Ebony narrates. This is for the Nike #betrue collection, the shoes with the rainbow soles worn in the running and dancing scenes. "Hey Lei, what have you done, to make a mark on this world?" Precious asks, "what mountains have you climbed? which angels gave you their wings?"

This is not the first time Nike has featured a transgender person in their ads, previously the ad "Unlimited Courage" starred Olympic athlete Chris Mosier.
