Roseanne Malfucci

Roseanne Malfucci (she/her) is a life-long advocate for equity and access, using her own stories to illuminate macro issues for marginalized people. Roseanne launched her career in the early 00s, tackling family and intimate partner violence in the non-profit sector. In 2009 she landed at a tech startup, managed the build of campaigning platform All Out—the largest global LGBTQ+ rights organization on the web—and went on to lead change management for tech teams at international human rights groups and Fortune 500 companies. Roseanne has presented at conferences like Grace Hopper: Women In Computing and Lesbians Who Tech, and authors pieces on outsider identity and contradiction for Medium and Refinery 29. She has written on topics like grappling with queer visibility as a cis person with a trans partner, learning to accept her breasts, and negotiating privilege in the workplace. A native Brooklynite, Roseanne spent much of her young adulthood as a DJ, playing to crowds of hundreds alongside the likes of Margaret Cho, Christian Siriano, and every queer D-list celebrity in noughties New York City. The Sum of Our Parts is Roseanne’s directorial debut and has been supported by DocNYC Only In New York 2019, UnionDocs Summer Lab 2020, The Gotham 2020 and NYSCA 2024. Roseanne lives in New York City, where she constantly rearranges furniture with her partner Kelly and their chihuahua-cattle dog mix Wylie.
