Welcome to the MíraLA Podcast - a podcast by women, for women and anyone willing to listen. Hosted by Arianna Lemus.
For the first episode, Arianna interviews Josslyn Glenn. Josslyn is an Afro-Latina trans woman and a multi-skilled filmmaker and writer. In this episode, we cover topics ranging from trans identity to trans representation in the media. Join us as we celebrate our first podcast episode.
Josslyn Glenn is a Los Angeles County-born Belizean and Chicana transgender producer, writer, and film curator 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 member has produced award-winning branded, editorial, scripted, and unscripted projects screening internationally, such as PeroLike’s “Being Queer in the Latino Community” and the Emmy-winning ABC News special Soul of a Nation Presents “Pride: To Be Seen” and Emmy-nominated Soul of a Nation Presents “The Freedom To Exist with Elliot Page.” In 2019, she garnered a Production Fellowship on Netflix’s feature documentary, Disclosure. When she is not craving asada fries, she is writing her second book, Tranny Pants, an anthology of fictionalized short stories based on the familial and romantic lives of trans people she has interviewed.
