About the Event
The Arcus Center for Social Justice Leadership welcomes Comedian, Actor, and Director Dame Grant as he performs sketches of his narrative about growing up in a small midwestern town as a black person. He addresses common microaggressions and misconceptions often projected onto Black folks, and the resilience we must cultivate to maintain our identities and thrive in small towns.
His work across different mediums allows the social justice message to reach many audiences.
This is an opportunity to reaffirm black identity in small towns like Kalamazoo. Though it is presented through comedy, the truth about the struggles of being Black will bring viewers of intersecting identities closer to collective solidarity.
