Guest Biography
Scottie Jeanette Madden’s journey hasn’t been easy. For decades, everything in her life screamed "Alpha Male." With 40 years in entertainment production, Scottie rose through the ranks to become an award-winning writer, director and producer of film & television, featuring documentaries, live events and scripted series. No one knew that for most of it, she, a top survival showrunner who had led productions in the world’s most dangerous locations, had been wrestling with her identity. Scottie is also an author of three books of queer content, one of which “Getting Back To Me” from girl to boy to woman in just fifty years, describes her journey of leaving privilege behind to embrace her truth. Scottie considers that journey as the ultimate survival show to dismantle the walls of a self-imposed prison, charting the way from denial to acceptance, from fear to courage to be herself. Today, she is a passionate advocate, speaker and educator for the Queer community, speaking to universities, corporations and hospitals. Her TED Talk led to her being invited first to the Downtown LA Proud advisory board, in 2019 and then onto the Board of Directors in 2020. |
