Janet is represented exclusively by CAA Speakers.
Janet Mock has addressed audiences from Yale and Stanford to Wellesley and Smith. She’s shared the stage with bell hooks, preached the gospel of Beyonce, and delivered commencement addresses at Columbia, USC and Pitzer College.
Through her presentations, Q&As, and conversations, Janet describes the personal, the political and the professional regarding her experiences as one of America’s most visible and influential trans women. Her work as a writer, feminist activist, director/producer and storyteller enables her to accessibly contextualize her experiences as a young trans woman of color for initiated and uninitiated audiences.
Janet speaks about the power of storytelling in literature and popular culture, the history of trans women leaders in feminist, LGBT and social justice movements, and the personal-political dynamics of visibility and voice. Though she much prefers to share the stage in conversation with other scholars and cultural critics, she’s delivered keynotes and commencement addresses — and is highly sought-after due to the success of her memoirs, Redefining Realness and Surpassing Certainty, books that have been widely adopted as course material for gender, women and queer studies as well as African-American literature courses across campuses. Redefining Realness has also been chosen as campus-wide reads, including UC Davis’s 2017-2018 Community Book Project.
