Please join us for a spoken word performance by Kyla Jenee Lacey, followed by a moderated discussion about intersectionality, resistance art, and creative activism, moderated by Pascale Florestal.
Kyla Jenee Lacey is a poet, writer, black activist, and funny girl. Kyla’s poetry addresses topics like white privilege, misogynoir, patriarchy, and more. She has bylines from The Root, BET.com, the Huffington Post, and currently writes for Karen Hunter’s “The Hub News.” Kyla’s work has been referenced in Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Tamron Hall, the Atlantic, NYT, Washington Post, the Boston Globe, WaPo, and many others— even Laura Ingraham from Fox News was so kind enough to refer to her work as “anti-racist propaganda.”

Pascale serves as the Associate Director for The Broadway National Tour of Jagged Little Pill.
