Glennisha Morgan
If you haven´t seen Glennisha Morgan´s innovative work online or on TV yet, you will soon. This journalist, photographer and filmmaker is an influential voice in online media-and a great example of how to create a career out of your passion. Morgan is the founder and publisher of The Fembassy, a blog dedicated to women MCs. She also contributes celebrity profiles to The Huffington Post, Ebony.com, ELIXHER, Vibe Vixen, Ikons, Autostraddle, AOL and other outlets, and her razor-sharp commentary has been featured on Trace TV, Vibe.com, CentricTV.com and more. Not surprisingly, the website ForHarriet.com named Morgan one of the most inspiring black women in social media-which expands her reach far beyond traditional journalism. She tells GO that being an out lesbian has directly contributed to her success: ″I feel blessed that the intersections of my identities can be expressed in my work.″ But, she adds, ″I don´t equate success to the amount of money that I make or to being well-known. Success, to me, is being able to go after each and every one of my dreams, while being liberated enough to walk in my truth doing so. The fact that I´ve been able to do that feels amazing.″ -KL
