From activism to autobiography to screenwriting, producing, and directing FX\u2019s \u201cPose,\u201d there\u2019s not much Janet Mock can\u2019t do. \u201cHead first, experience first,\u201d she says, is how she journeys through both Hollywood and life. When Ryan Murphy offered the chance to lend her voice to a trailblazer of a series featuring transgender and queer characters, Janet gave herself a crash course in becoming a writer-director-producer\u2014and can now pass on that knowledge to other aspiring multihyphenates. \n\nJanet worked as a journalist and correspondent in digital media before her bestselling memoirs \u201cRedefining Realness\u201d and \u201cSurpassing Certainty\u201d led her to television and film. She became the first trans woman of color to write and direct a TV episode, on \u201cPose,\u201d and now also executive produces the Netflix mini-series \u201cHollywood.\u201d Check out Backstage coverage of \u201cPose\u201d here: bit.ly/3dII7Qt\nFor coverage of COVID-19 including advice and resources, click here: bit.ly/2WxUFVj\n\n---\n\nBackstage has been the #1 resource for actors and talent-seekers for 60 years.
