Ijeoma Olou on writing about race

Ijeoma Olou is the author of So You Want to Talk About Race, which was published last year.  She also is editor-at-large of The Establishment, a feminist multi-media site run and funded by women.

She is like Barack Obama—the child of a white Midwestern mother and an African father who returned to his homeland shortly after she was born.  She lives in Seattle, where she grew up.

The video is of a talk she gave in September, 2018, to XOXO, an experimental festival in Portland, Oregon, for artists and creators who write on the Internet.
