Janet Mock

A Bombay ink painting featuring famous transgender writer, Janet Mock. A survivor of sexual abuse, a former sex worker, and now an incredible writer (the book "Redefining Realness" and the show "Pose" on Netflix and FX), Mock is a half-Black, half-Hawaiian woman whose talents, humble beginnings, rough life, brave honesty, and beautiful willingness to heal are just a few of the reasons why I admire her and felt an unshakable need to paint her.
