Janet broke ground in 2014 when she released her pioneering and bestselling Redefining Realness, the first trans memoir written from the perspective of a young person and a woman of color. Since then, sheâs continued to tell stories across various platforms. She produced the HBO documentary, The Trans List (2016); served as a correspondent for Entertainment Tonight; hosted a series of television specials, including the digital talk series âSo POPular" and MSNBCâs âBeyond My Bodyâ; helms the Allure.com column, "Beauty Beyond Binariesâ; and published her second book, Surpassing Certainty, about her unconventional twenties experience.
With a masterâs in journalism from New York University, the Honolulu native began her career as an editor at People.com, and has since become, in Oprah Winfreyâs words, a âtrailblazing leaderâ and âfearless new voiceâ who gave a rousing speech at the Womenâs March on Washington. Her work has been honored by the Ms. Foundation for Women, Planned Parenthood, and the Sylvia Rivera Law Project. Time called her one of âthe most influential people on the Internet," while Variety named her on its "Power of Women" list. Janet lives in New York with her husband and cockapoo.
