Actor Laverne Cox marked her 51st birthday on Monday by baring her soul and style in a video on Instagram.

The Orange is the New Black alum modeled a vintage Dior swimsuit by John Galliano with a Thierry Mugler coat.

Im obsessed with vintage right now, she wrote. Perhaps because Im vintage.

But Cox, a fierce advocate of trans rights, also had a more serious message.

I feel like its a miracle that Im still alive, the four-time Emmy nominee wrote. To all my siblings out there, heres to making it to another day despite all the efforts to keep us from doing so. Stay strong!! Hold on!!!
