Monika: Today, I have the pleasure and honor of speaking with Jenna Fischetti, a remarkable woman whose advocacy has made a lasting impact on the transgender community in Maryland and beyond. Jenna is not only a dedicated transgender activist and advocate but also a contributor to The Transadvocate, where she amplifies the voices of trans individuals and sheds light on crucial issues. As the founder of TransMaryland, Jenna has worked tirelessly to provide support, education, and advocacy for transgender people and their allies, ensuring that they have the resources and protections they deserve.
Her leadership extends to her years as a facilitator for the Gender Identity Groups at the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Community Center of Baltimore and Central Maryland (GLCCB), where she guided and empowered many in their journeys. With a deep commitment to justice and equality, Jenna has been at the forefront of legislative efforts, community-building initiatives, and grassroots activism, all aimed at improving the lives of trans people. It’s an honor to have her here today to share her experiences, insights, and vision for a more inclusive future. Jenna, welcome to the interview!
