EW Game Changers is a series profiling the people and projects making an impact in diversity, equity, and inclusion in entertainment.

Queer as Folk executive producer and trans activist Jaclyn Moore cites an unexpected source of inspiration when it comes to storytelling: Aaron Sorkin's talky workplace dramedy Sports Night. "The idea of having an authorial voice stuck with me at a young age," she says. Sorkin and Gilmore Girls' Amy Sherman-Palladino are among the writers who impressed Moore with their "beautiful musical dialogue," and inspired her to start writing scripts.

But unlike Sorkin and Palladino, Moore, 34, got her big break in Hollywood in a thoroughly modern way: The Twitter account she ran with now-Desus & Mero producer-writer Josh Gondelman, @SeinfeldToday, which re-imagined Seinfeld episodes centering on current-day problems, caught the attention of agents. She soon landed a job as a writer on the short-lived 2014 remake of the British comedy Gavin & Stacey, and then on HBO Max's Love Life. Next was a stint on Netflix's Dear White People, where she started as a writer-producer before becoming co-showrunner for the fourth and final season. "[Dear White People] taught me how important it is to listen and to know what you don't know," says Moore, who was the only white writer on the show.

Jaclyn has a genius for writing, and also for finding what's personal to an audience at the heart of socially complex material," says DWP creator Justin Simien. "Giving space for her stories and supporting her utterly unique queer point of view has been a joy."
