RESCHEDULED: Something to Smile About: Black Joy in the Media -- Women of Color Texts and Contexts discussion series

This event has been rescheduled from Thursday, March 18 to Thursday, March 23.
Please join us on the new date. 

We’ll kickstart the meeting with some great music videos from Janelle Monáe, Lizzo, and Meet Me @ The Altar, which feature Black women exhibiting joy and pleasure. The conversation will focus on how and why Black female joy, pleasure, and victory is such a revolutionary and powerful thing to depict in media, and how it inflects current conversations surrounding race, sex, victimhood, agency, and representation.

Join us for an hour of good music, good conversation, and good community centered on the freedom to smile. 

Music videos to be discussed:
Janelle Monáe—I Like That
Lizzo—Good As Hell
Meet Me @ The Altar—Garden
