Globetrender founder and CEO, Jenny Southan, has been listed as one of Attitude magazine’s 2023 LGBTQ+ ‘trailblazers who are changing the world’.
Sponsored by Bentley, the Attitude 101 has highlighted Globetrender founder and CEO Jenny Southan as one of 101 public figures from the queer community who are “changing the world”. The announcement was made at a glittering event at the five-star Rosewood hotel in London.

Consisting of ten categories each with ten individuals who aren’t ranked in any way, Attitude magazine seeks to celebrate the achievements of “trailblazers” across the LGBTQ+ community, with an additional “Person of the Year” (in this case Alice Oseman, author, artist, screenwriter and Heartstopper creator) taking the total to 101.
The Attitude 101 categories are Film, TV, and Music; Politics; Travel; Sport; The Future, supported by Clifford Chance; Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics; Third Sector and the Community; Media and Broadcast; Fashion, Art, and Design, supported by Klarna; and Business, Financial, and Legal. 
Southan told Attitude that in addition to running Globetrender, she freelances for a variety of publications, writing about travelling with her wife and their daughter, among many other topics. Projects for the year ahead include authoring a trend report on the future of LGBTQ travel and speaking on international panels about the need for “queer fluency” in the travel and hospitality industry.

Cliff Joannou, editor-in-chief of Attitude, says: “The LGBTQ+ community is broad and diverse, we are in every culture, nationality, ethnicity, class, religion. One thing that unites us is the process of coming out, both to ourselves and others, sometimes with ease and at other times with great difficulty.
“With the Attitude 101, empowered by Bentley, we celebrate those whose intersectional identities have helped them excel in their careers as openly LGBTQ+ scientists, lawyers, actors, musicians, politicians, engineers, designers and beyond in our annual list of LGBTQ+ trailblazers.”
