Roxane Gay: The Audacity
Series
When
Wednesday, 16 Mar 2022, 08:00pm - 09:00pm

Writer, speaker and cultural icon Roxane Gay returns to Australia for an entertaining and enlightening conversation about her extraordinary body of work, her dedication to uplifting emerging voices, and to offer her famously sharp takes on feminism, race and politics.
Gay is committed to amplifying voices and passing the microphone around. Following critical acclaim for her bestselling works, including Bad Feminist, Difficult Women and Hunger, Gay is turning the spotlight on powerful new literary talent through her newsletter, The Audacity and the accompanying Audacious Book Club. Her work in promoting emerging talent doesn’t stop there – last year she launched her own publishing imprint, Roxane Gay Books, which seeks to publish and support works of fiction, poetry and nonfiction from underrepresented perspectives.
As one of America’s most beloved social commentators, Gay walks the walk of the topics she explores. In March, she joins writer, commentator and gender equality advocate Jamila Rizvi to discuss her unapologetic and audacious approach to writing and culture, while opening doors for others along the way.
