A quinceañera is a Latin American tradition celebrating a girl’s coming of age on her 15th birthday. Zoey a Mexican/American living in Los Angeles however is a little difference as she is a transgender girl. She is dedicating her quinceañera to her trans godmothers who helped her through her transitioning but who never got to experience a celebration like this of their own.
15: A Quinceañera Story is an upcoming HBO docu-series which follows several young Latina girls in the United States as they prepare for their quinceañras, and the debut episode on December 9th is Zoey’s own story.
The series is produced by music industry veteran Tommy Mottola and is directed by Emmy winner Matthew O’Neill and Mexican Grammy-winning musician Thalía Sodi.
