Radical Radiance: Lana Lawless

I am proud to name Lana Lawless, Women’s World Champion in the 2008 RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship, as this week’s beauty. Not only is Lana a talented golfer, she is also a true individual – someone who is completely unafraid to stand up and show the world who she is without apology. Lana is a transgendered person, a woman born into the body of a man. She explains herself quite profoundly in the article, saying that “This is who I am. This is my life, that other person, that 245-pound SWAT cop I used to be, he’s gone. He’s not coming back.” I am in awe of the eloquent and decisive way in which she summed herself up; Lana truly knows how to handle an interview and make her point known.
