Early Life & Education

Jaclyn Noel Glenn was born on March 25, 1988, in Palmetto, Florida—though some sources list Tampa as her birthplace—and grew up in the Tampa Bay area in a modest, working-class neighborhood. She has described her early environment as “not very nice,” noting that her family often faced financial challenges.

Her parents divorced when she was around four years old, a process that lasted several years. Afterward, Jaclyn primarily lived with her mother, Alida Bostick Glenn, while maintaining contact with her father, Stephen (or Steve) Hornbeak.

Despite the instability, she recalls a childhood full of imagination and curiosity. Shy and frequently bullied in her early years, Glenn developed a more outspoken, confrontational personality by middle school as a way to defend herself. Teachers often described her as energetic and easily distracted, but her mother consistently advocated for her, resisting pressure to medicate or label her academically.

Raised in a devout Roman Catholic household, Jaclyn’s upbringing was deeply shaped by religion—her mother’s faith guided much of her early life. She attended Catholic schools from kindergarten through high school, participated in church activities, and took daily religion classes. Her father’s side of the family leaned more Protestant, giving her exposure to differing Christian traditions.

As a child, she enthusiastically believed in myths like Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, later drawing parallels between the disillusionment of those beliefs and her eventual religious deconversion. During her teenage years at Tampa Catholic High School, she began questioning Church teachings, especially on divorce, homosexuality, and the fate of unbaptized children—doctrines that personally affected her family and friends.

Though she briefly identified as Protestant, these doubts deepened in college, leading her to become agnostic by 2012 and later an outspoken atheist. Influences such as Richard Dawkins’ “The God Delusion“, college science courses, and exposure to diverse worldviews played pivotal roles in that transition.

Glenn has one younger sister, Alyssa Glenn, born in 1999 when Jaclyn was 11. She has expressed affection for introducing Alyssa to science and critical thinking, even gifting her books like Dawkins’ The Magic of Reality. While her atheism initially caused friction with her family, she later reconciled with them and maintains a close relationship today.

An academically gifted student, Jaclyn earned over 30 college credits before finishing high school and graduated with honors from the University of South Florida, where she earned a degree in Biomedical Sciences.

Fascinated by genetics and evolution, she found that her scientific studies further challenged her religious beliefs. Inspired by her stepfather, a physician, she pursued medicine and attended medical school for about two years, volunteering in hospitals and even joining a medical outreach trip to Peru.

However, at age 21, Glenn decided to leave medical school, citing personal unhappiness, depression, and a desire for creative fulfillment. Her early marriage was failing, and she began exploring new outlets for expression—including YouTube, where she would later build a major platform as a commentator, skeptic, and content creator.

Career

Jaclyn Glenn’s career took off after she made a bold decision to leave medical school at 21, trading her pre-med ambitions for a creative path that aligned more with her sense of purpose.

In 2011, she launched her YouTube channel, JaclynGlenn, debuting with a lighthearted skit titled “The 10 Commandments of Facebook.” Her early comedic content soon evolved into sharp, thought-provoking critiques of religion—especially Christianity—where she used humor, reason, and personal insight to discuss atheism and skepticism.

By 2025, her main channel had grown to over 800,000 subscribers and 80 million views, with content spanning religion, politics, feminism, pop culture, and sexuality. Some of her most notable videos include her response to Ray Comfort’s Audacity and critical commentary on online personalities like Onision.

Beyond her main channel, Glenn co-manages Frank Family Vlogs with her husband, David Michael Frank, offering a more intimate look into their daily lives, and runs a personal channel, JaclynVlogs, for lifestyle and behind-the-scenes updates. Known for her directness and unapologetic tone, she has built a loyal fan base while also facing criticism from detractors who label her controversial or “provocative” for her outspoken atheist views.

Her creative ventures extend beyond YouTube—she’s appeared in short films such as The Triggering (2018), I Know You from Somewhere (2017), and the comedy series No Offense, reflecting her love for satire and performance. Glenn also co-hosts the Unfiltered Love Podcast with her husband, where they discuss relationships, mental health, and personal development.

A frequent speaker at events like Reason Rally and Skepticon, Glenn uses her platform to advocate for science, critical thinking, and personal freedom—often referencing her biomedical sciences background to reinforce evidence-based reasoning. She has collaborated with notable creators, including TheAmazingAtheist (TJ Kirk), David G. McAfee, and Arielle Scarcella, strengthening her presence within the secular and skeptic communities.

While her bold opinions have sparked controversies—particularly over her evolving stances on feminism and social justice—Glenn continues to thrive as a digital influencer and public thinker.

Now based in Tennessee, she balances vlogging, podcasting, and activism, sustaining her influence as one of the most recognized voices challenging traditional beliefs and cultural norms in online media.

She began dating musician David Michael Frank in 2018, whom she had known previously in Los Angeles; they got engaged during a surprise proposal in Rome and married on October 18, 2020, in a livestreamed ceremony.
