Janet Mock is making history
STILL MORE BREAKING NEWS:
Janet Mock is making history. The Pose director, producer and writer has signed a sweeping deal at Netflix, making her the first out transgender woman empowered to call the creative shots at a major content company. The three-year multimillion-dollar pact gives the streaming giant exclusive rights to her TV series and a first-look option on feature film projects. As part of the agreement, Mock will serve as an executive producer and director on Ryan Murphy’s forthcoming Netflix series Hollywood. Despite being part of the Netflix family, Mock will be allowed to continue as a writer-director on Murphy’s FX series Pose, an LGBTQ drama set in New York City’s competitive ballroom scene. The Netflix deal will enable Mock to create programs that employ and highlight communities that have historically been ignored by Hollywood — including the intersectional space Mock herself occupies, as a woman of color and a highly visible trans person. “As someone who grew up in front of the TV screen, whether that was watching talk shows or family sitcoms or VHS films, I never thought that I would be embraced,” says Mock. “And more than embraced. Given not just a seat at the table but a table of my own making.” Mock hopes the deal “will be a huge signal boost, industrywide, to empower people and equip them to tell their own stories.” She is interviewing creative executives for her yet-to-be-named production banner. Projects in development include a college-set drama following a young trans woman, a series about New Orleans after the abolishment of slavery and a reboot of a classic sitcom. “As a best-selling author, producer and director, Janet Mock has demonstrated she knows how to bring her vision to thrilling, vivid life,” says Cindy Holland, Netflix VP of original content. “She’s a groundbreaker and creative force who we think will fit right in here at Netflix.” Mock joins a very small club of powerful trans creators. Jill Soloway, who identifies as non-binary, has a production deal with Amazon Studios. For many in the bungalows and boardrooms of Hollywood, directors Lilly and Lana Wachowski were early and visible trans peers. They created The Matrix franchise and later the fan-favorite queer series Sense8 at Netflix. After that, there aren’t many trans artists who have been given major platforms. Writers’ rooms for shows including Transparent, Pose, Tales of the City and the L Word reboot are staffed with trans people...
Video included. And once again the press in her native Honolulu (or “Hannah-lulu” according to the “how-lees”) is ignoring her accomplishments...
Janet Mock and Tracey Norman for @hollywoodreporter ✨🎥✨ // Finally finished season 2 of @posefx and didn't think I could be even more grateful for meeting these two women and having so many amazing pics from this shoot. What Janet does with story telling in that show is beyond. There is so much love, fear, pain, support, drama and courage within all the characters. There's so much to learn about the trans community, yes, but also about being human. For those who don't know, Tracey is the inspiration for the character Angel Evangelista played by @indyamoore. Tracey's life story is nothing short of amazing and I suggest you read about her in an amazing NY Times article that came out last year. This is the show that reminds me know matter who you are, NO ONE accomplishes anything alone and you are truly blessed to have a group of close friends not just backing you, but FIGHTING for you. It's easy to say you support someone, but what are you really doing to make sure your people get what they are working for? So stoked I can finally share some outtakes from this shoot. Just want to add that Janet Mock is a BOSS and the energy she brings is fierce. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't very scared setting up for our shots, but by our last setup we were sharing laughs and I am deeply grateful to her and Tracey who brought it all 💫🌇😍🙌🏿🖤 #posefx #janetmock #traceynorman #houseofevangelista https://www.instagram.com/p/B2CNg62A50f/?igshid=1dyyqe5w3hb36

THE AMERICAN DREAM
“I, too, am America.” -- Langston Hughes
It’s is important to change the negative images and narratives created about Black people -- it’s called pathology. i choose to support and elevate my community and culture. I bet on Black! As we celebrate Independence Day, we must remain mindful that America was literally built on the backs of Black people. We are Kings, Queens and Warriors. We defy definition because we are so damn fine -- and divine. Here are some moments in popular culture that remind me that I am Black, beautiful, brilliant and blessed.
