About Janet Mock

Author, public speaker, and longtime editor for People.com, Janet Mock came out as trans in a Marie Claire article in 2011, and has turned the internet into a safer space for trans women. When Caitlin Jenner’s Vanity Fair cover came out, Janet was inundated by media requests and used her social media platform to educate and present an intersectional discussion about race, gender, and class. In 2015, Janet recorded a video for Oprah’s Super Soul Sundays series, talking about her bestselling memoir Redefining Realness and the #GirlsLikeUs hashtag she started online to connect the trans community, as well as her user-submitted story-sharing Tumblr, I AM #RedefiningRealness.
