The newlywed bride gave viewers on Winfrey's cable network and the world an in-depth look at her journey to becoming one of the LGBT community's most vocal and visible faces.
In the session, titled The Path of Authenticity -- Embracing the Otherness,Mock talked sincerely about her transition into the woman she is today; a woman who, as Winfrey pointed out, is doing her part to teach the world that sexuality and gender is a spectrum.
"I am proud of what I have been able to accomplish, but most importantly, I am proud that I can be a mirror for young girls," she said at one point during her presentation. "A mirror that I didn't have growing up."
