In Audre’s Footsteps: A Conversation with Dr. Heidi Lewis and Ashley Jones

Join us on Saturday, August 6 at Burdock Book Collective from 5-7PM for a conversation about In Audre’s Footsteps: Transnational Kitchen Table Talk with co-author, Dr. Heidi Lewis and Alabama Poet Laureate, Ashley Jones. In Audre’s Footsteps: Transnational Kitchen Table Talk honors Black intellectual traditions set forth by Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Dr. Angela Y. Davis, and Audre Lorde, all who were influenced by their experiences in Berlin. Engaging Black and Transnational feminist frameworks, In Audre’s Footsteps amplifies the resistive and generative experiences of Black and women of color intellectuals in Berlin and the U.S., examining how they resist and revise oppressive narratives and how they address the always advantageous but sometimes contentious contours of solidarity.
