Formally educated from Ivy League schools in race relations, international public affairs, and theater, Negin Farsad translates that experience into her own brand of “social justice comedy.” Her routines often feature her satirical takes on politics, sex and her experiences navigating the cultural dynamics of her Iranian-born Muslim family.
Huffington Post named Farsad one of the "53 of our Favorite Female Comedians,” and she was also selected as a TED Fellow. And her book How to Make White People Laugh is a humorous yet poignant memoir on growing up Muslim in the post-9/11 U.S.
“People would ask me, in a very concrete way, how to be antiracist,” Kendi said in an interview. “Eventually I realized that it was a question that I could answer."
In response, Kendi wrote How to be Antiracist, which we discussed in our reading groups last year. That program culminated in Kendi joining us at the Madam Walker Legacy Center.
JuJu Chang, Emmy Award winning co-anchor of ABC News Nightline, joined us virtually Oct. 6 to discuss issues facing the Asian American community and why representation and their stories matter.
