Ijeoma Oluo at IUPUI

Wednesday, September 7, 2022 at 6:00pm - 9:00pm

Ijeoma Oluo, author of “So You Want to Talk About Race,” will talk with us about, well, race.

Ijeoma Oluo (ee-joh-mah oh-loo-oh) is a writer, speaker and internet yeller. Nigerian American raised by a white mother in the Pacific Northwest, Oluo infuses personal anecdotes with facts and figures in her #1 New York Times bestseller So You Want to Talk About Race. (The book is so good, we use it in our antiracist reading groups.)

Her work on race has been featured in The Guardian, The New York Times and The Washington Post, among many other publications. She was named to the 2021 TIME Magazine 100 Next list and has twice been named to The Root 100.

Oluo also received the 2018 Feminist Humanist Award and the 2020 Harvard Humanist of the Year Award from the American Humanist Association.

Join us in person Wednesday, Sep 7, 2022, at 6 p.m. at the Madam Walker Theatre. Register on Eventbrite. Free and open to the public.
