Black Women Radicals and Writing as Resistance

THE OUTRAGE and BLACK WOMEN RADICALS ARE CO-hosting a series of events to highlight BLACK WOMEN'S HISTORICAL AND CONTEMPORARY LEADERSHIP. From Ida B. Wells, Lillian Parker Thomas Fox, Mabel Dove Danquah to Akua Asabea Ayisi and Dorothy Butler Gilliam, Black women writers in Africa and in the African Diaspora have and continue to use the power of the pen and press as radical tools for creativity, resistance, restoration, and most importantly, revolution. Join us in a dialogue with Black women writers as they discuss and interrogate what the great Toni Cade Bambara, a writer and activist, deemed as the responsibility or "job of the writer" which "is to make revolution irresistible." _*Admission includes one drink ticket _ OVERVIEW OF THE EVENING: * 6:00pm -- Doors open/Check-in * 6:15pm –– Conversation begins * 7:30pm –– Mix, mingle, and connect * 8:00pm –– Event wraps ABOUT BLACK WOMEN RADICALS: Black Women Radicals [https://www.blackwomenradicals.com/] is a Black feminist advocacy organization dedicated to uplifting and centering Black women’s radical political activism.
