Reflecting on 2012: My Personal Year Review
Posted by: Janet Posted date: December 30, 2012
http://janetmock.com/2012/12/30/events-awards-speaking-2012-year-review/I haven't written a blog post since July, on the eve of leaving my job of more than five years at
People.com. As some of you may know, I've spent these last transitioning months traveling, speaking and most personal to me, writing my memoir Fish Food which will be out February 2014.
I'd like to use this space to highlight and list some of the people who have moved me, the events and work that have inspired me and the milestones, mentions and awards that have affirmed me and my work. In 2012, I was honored by an organization created in the legacy of one of my heroes Sylvia Rivera; I made my television debut on MSNBC with Thomas Roberts; I stood witness as two people I love married the love of their lives; I signed my book deal enabling me to truly write for a living; I shared on-air space with my sister Isis King, creating the first-ever segment where two trans women simply spoke to one another; I was among a small group of emerging LGBT leaders being feted at Vice President Biden's home; and I spoke to thousands of young people and many privileged folks about what it means to stand at the intersections of many systems of oppression.
