About Unlearning Misogynoir

In our first ever LIVE Unlearning with Lindsey T. H. Jackson, join us for an eye-opening, ground-shifting exploration of misogynoir - the unique form of discrimination faced by Black women. Our experts will delve into the roots of this issue, its manifestations in society, and most importantly, strategies for recognition, combat, and fostering a more inclusive environment.

We’ll be live, on stage at Town Hall Seattle on November 21, 2024 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available on the Town Hall Seattle website, while they last!

This critical discussion brings together a panel of distinguished experts to explore the intersectional challenges faced by Black women and strategies for dismantling systemic biases.
