4. Janet Mock

Mock is a transgender writer, producer, and director who is going to change the world of television forever. Mock made history last year when she was recognized as the first black transgender woman to direct a major network television episode for the FX series "Pose". Along with writing, producing, and directing "Pose", Mock is a trans rights activist and New York Times bestselling author. She just signed a deal with Netflix, becoming the first black transgender digital content mogul who is going to be bringing us new projects about underrepresented minorities in film! My little gay heart is so happy for all this new and exciting content.
