Jake Graf | Speaker Biography

About Jake Graf

Award-winning actor, writer, and director
Advocate for LGBTQ+ representation in media
Speaker on inclusion and diversity issues
Jake Graf is an award-winning actor, writer, and director from London, whose work has earned international acclaim for its authentic representation of underrepresented communities. With a career spanning over a decade, Jake uses film as a powerful tool to promote acceptance, understanding, and inclusivity, particularly for the LGBTQ+ community.

His first nine short films have garnered awards at over 100 festivals globally, establishing him as a prominent voice in the world of queer cinema.

Currently, Jake is working on his debut feature film, Lavender, in collaboration with BAFTA-nominated MisFits Entertainment, alongside two television drama pilots with strong LGBTQ+ themes. His acting credits include roles in ITV’s Butterfly, BBC’s Doctors, and starring alongside Keira Knightley in Colette.

Through his films, Jake brings rarely seen characters and stories to life, and his work is frequently used as an educational resource in schools, universities, and prisons worldwide.

Jake’s commitment to promoting positive representation goes beyond film, as he is a passionate public speaker, regularly addressing issues around LGBTQ+ inclusion, mental health, and the importance of supporting trans colleagues in the workplace. He also works as a brand consultant and has contributed opinion pieces to publications such as The Evening Standard, Cosmopolitan, and Attitude Magazine.

A patron of charities including Mermaids, AKT Charity, and Ditch The Label, Jake is also a judge for prestigious awards such as the European Diversity Awards and the National Diversity Awards.

Alongside his wife, Hannah Graf, he has become one of the UK’s most high-profile transgender advocates. Together, they have shared their personal journey through media appearances, including the Channel 4 documentary Our Baby: A Modern Miracle, and continue to inspire audiences through their candid discussions on gender, family life, and the power of inclusion.

Jake can be booked for individual talks, or as a duo with Hannah.
