A Home Girl?: Audre Lorde, Empire and the Possibility of a Sista President

This workshop is for women, femmes and non-binary people of color.

In the wake of the US invasion of Grenada, Audre Lorde wrote "Equal Opportunity" a poem juxtaposing the ascendence of a Black woman to power in the department of defense with the carnage of US imperialism in Grenada and Lebanon. In this moment where a Black woman is the front-runner as the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party, a result achieved through our diligent and unwavering protest against the current US president's complicity in genocide and other factors, while we once again see police murder a black woman in her own home it is time to turn back to Audre Lorde's nuance and boldness around home, empire and state violence. Come write with us. Captions will be enabled and everyone who signs up will get the recording.
