Janet Mock: The Path to Authenticity: Embracing the Otherness
In a live appearance at UCLA\u2019s Royce Hall, New York Times best-selling author and transgender advocate Janet Mock says she grew up \u201cothered\u201d and was taught that \u201cnormal\u201d was the path to success and contentment. However, what she learned was something entirely different. Janet speaks about the deep space of lack in marginalized communities caused by a society that closes its eyes to the problems of people who are different. No matter where you are in life, Janet says, there's one question we all need to ask ourselves: \u201cWho am I to me?\u201d Janet believes that asking herself this question led to answers that emboldened her and built the foundation on which she stands today. With deeply personal stories and humorous memories, Janet shares what she calls her path to authenticity.
