Jennifer M-F Horn, LCSW, NMCFIT, is a licensed clinical social worker, researcher, educator, and U.S. Navy veteran whose scholarship and practice center Black same-gender-loving women and historically marginalized communities across aging, caregiving, and long-term services and supports. She received her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Colorado State University–Pueblo, graduating Magna Cum Laude and inducted into Psi Chi, the International Honor Society in Psychology, and her Master of Social Work from Newman University, where she was inducted into the Pi Gamma Mu International Honor Society in Social Sciences. Jennifer is currently a Doctor of Social Work (DSW) candidate at Tulane University School of Social Work, with a projected graduation of May 2027. Her doctoral scholarship critically examines institutional responsibility and interrogates how resilience narratives can obscure structural harm — with particular attention to the communities ZAMI NOBLA serves.

Jennifer has spent nearly two decades conducting community-rooted research on the lived experiences of older LGBTQIA2S+ adults, with the last six years heavily focused on older Black same-gender-loving women, with published co-authorships in The Gerontologist, LGBT Health, and the Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences. Professionally, she serves as a Care Planner at the Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments Area Agency on Aging: Family Caregiver Support Center and provides pro-bono mental health services to limited-income residents through Spark by Project Helping. She is the founder of Let's Talk About It! An Educational Journey Series, LLC, an equity-centered educational platform addressing generational trauma, intersectionality, and racial justice. Jennifer serves as Co-Chair of the American Society on Aging's Equity & Justice Advisory Council and was honored with the 2022 DEI Champions of Advocacy Award for the Pikes Peak Region. As Board Chair of ZAMI NOBLA, she is committed to ensuring that the stories, wisdom, and dignity of older Black same-gender-loving women are centered in research, in policy, and in community.
