The A.C.T.O.R. (A Continuing Talk on Race) open discussion series is hosted by Busboys and Poets as a community service. It provides the opportunity for people to come together and speak openly and honestly about issues of race. The intent is that each person walks away from the discussion feeling something: challenged, educated, uncomfortable, enlightened, refreshed, reassured and hopefully inspired and moved to action! Each month there is a new topic for discussion.
This Month's Topic:
Colorism and the Global Perception of Beauty
Hosted by Jonelle Henry, Founder & Host of Districtly Speaking and a respected journalist and leader in her field with over 15 years of media & communications experience. She is currently the international producer at C-SPAN.Featuring:
