Meet Alexis Fish '94, a trailblazer who has been championing LGBTQ and BIPOC visibility in media long before Diversity & Inclusion was part of the conversation. With over 20 years of experience as an executive, producer, and director, Alexis has held influential roles such as VP of Pride at MRC (Billboard/The Hollywood Reporter), founding editor of Condé Nast’s groundbreaking queer vertical 'them,' executive producer of John Cameron Mitchell’s 'Shortbus,' and SVP of the first independent queer television network, QTV, among many others.
In this episode, Alexis shares her journey of embracing her identity, defying societal expectations, and carving her own path in the media landscape. She delves into the privilege and responsibility that comes with her role as a queer media expert and the transformative power of media to shift consciousness and save lives. Additionally, Alexis opens up about her most personal and impactful role yet—being a foster parent.
Join us for an impactful discussion with Alexis as she takes us through her extraordinary career and the heart and passion behind her advocacy.
