Josslyn Glenn is a Los Angeles born Black Chicana transgender producer, writer, spokesperson, and film festival programmer dedicated to promoting nuanced representations of queer and trans people of color that have historically been under- and misrepresented in media. While studying at UCLA, she wrote her first book, She Rotates with Pluto: A Collection of Short Stories and Poems. The National Association of Hispanic Journalists lifetime member has produced award-winning branded, editorial, scripted, and unscripted projects screening internationally, such as PeroLike’s “Being Queer in the Latino Community,” ABC’s “Soul of a Nation Presents “Pride: To Be Seen” and “Soul of a Nation Presents The Freedom To Exist with Elliot Page.” She was a Production Fellow on Netflix’s Disclosure, and worked on Con Todo’s Visions of Us.
