Description:

Busboys and Poets has always been a place for artists, activists, and writers of the community to gather and break bread.  And while we may be physically distant right now, we can still stay connected and break bread together. 

Join us on Zoom for Busboys and Friends: A Virtual Dinner Party held every Friday night at 6 pm.  Hosted by CEO and Founder, Andy Shallal with a special dinner guest each week.  

Order your favorite meal and beverage from Busboys and Poets, set your table, download one of our optional virtual backgrounds, and tune in for a special dinner with some of the most influential leaders of our time.  

Our next dinner guest is none other than the incomparable Angela Davis! 

Angela Yvonne Davis is an American political activist, philosopher, academic, and author. She’s the co-founder of Critical Resistance, an organization whose mission is to end the prison industrial complex.

Known for books like Women, Race & Class, she has worked as a professor and activist who advocates gender equity, prison reform and alliances across color lines.

In 2019, Angela Davis was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame. She is a professor emerita at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
