MAMAS, MARTYRS, AND JEZEBELS – SOUL
Tuesday, March 4 @ 8 PM ET
Mamas, Martyrs, and Jezebels: Myths, Legends, and Other Lies You’ve Been Told about Black Women revisits notions of Black womanhood to include the ways in which Black women’s perceived strength can function as a dangerous denial of Black women’s humanity. This collection addresses the stigma of this extraordinary endurance in professional and personal spaces, the Black church, in interpersonal partnerships, and within the justice arena, while also giving voice and value to Black women’s experiences as the backbone of the Black family and community. In this event, contributors to the section of the book dedicated to the theme “SOUL” will discuss their work.
Moderator: Dr. Rondrea Danielle Mathis
Panelists: Olivia Brown, Esperanza M. Cintron, Dr. Chris Omni, Joy Davis, Debra M. Smith, Margaret Scott
