Along with the new series, AwesomenessTV will also premiere a special short episode, “My Dream Quinceañera: Never Too Late,” which will follow the story of a trans woman, Juliet, who never had the chance to celebrate a quinceañera in the 15 years and finally gets to experience his quince later in life as his true self.
