Julie Lythcott-Haims

In Real American, Julie Lythcott-Haims stirringly evokes her personal battle with the low self-esteem that American racism routinely inflicts on people of color. Her story is deeply personal, but its message is universal. In her talks, Julie shares how she found self-acceptance through the healing power of community. It is a call to all of us–students, educators, and parents alike–to live more wisely, generously and fully.

Jocelyn Johnson Juneteenth

Jocelyn Nicole Johnson‘s My Monticello was recently featured on ELLE.com as a most memorable read. The debut explores the utility and hope that can be found in stories that challenge us and offer myriad perspectives. In her talks, Johnson emphasizes that “outsider stories” can hasten and edify us, inoculate us from fracture, and quite possibly save us.
