My Story

Anna Goodman is a born connector. She moved to Los Angeles in the fall of 2011, and has not stopped meeting new people and making new friend since.

There were some rough times in the beginning years, including multiple failed productions jobs, that time she worked at the male massage place, and of course the coffee shop barista days. But in 2015, Anna found her footing.

It all started with a fundraising event called Single De Mayo. The organization JQ International hired Anna’s friend and le***an promoter/ DJ extraordinaire, Morgan Hildebrand to run the event. Morgan reached out to Anna to come on board and assist, and long story short, it was a major success. JQ’s Executive Director noticed Anna at the event and saw major potential in her. She was then hired as Director of Programming for JQ in September, 2015.

Since then, Anna has brought some of LA’s top LGBTQ+ community and charity events to fruition. A part from her position at JQ, Anna also worked as the LA city events manager for the HER app from August 2016 - December 2018, and has also assisted with multiple le***an and q***r events in LA since, including Milk Milk Lemonade LA, B.O.Y. LA, Mothership Festival, Lezathlon, and Everybody Gogo. Her planning prowess and need to continue creating community led her to start Open D**e Night in June 2019, a monthly le***an/ q***r piano bar event taking place every third Tuesday of the month at Tramp Stamp Grannies in Hollywood.
