Janet Mock is the co-writer, producer, and director on the award-winning hit series 'Pose.' Since coming out publicly as a transwoman in 2011, Janet Mock has been an impactful force. She continues to open doors and create spaces for other members of the transgender community to thrive, more specifically trans women of color. There's significance in a show where the five main characters are trans women played by actual trans women. In 2019, Mock signed a deal with Netflix giving them exclusive access to 'Pose' and became the first openly transgender woman to sign an agreement with a major content company.
FUN FACT: Janet chose her name because someone told her she looked like Janet Jackson.
