In searing dispatches, Tiffany shows us a timely affirmation for Black women in a world that has undervalued them for centuries. RSVP NOW!About this Event
We are elated to be hosting Tiffany D. Cross to celebrate her new book Love, Me. Pending weather this event has the potential to be moved offsite to an indoor venue, but we will reach out to all ticket holders to update if that is the case.
Will we ever get back the love we give? That’s what millions of Black women are asking. Whether it’s the men in our lives, our experiences in our workplaces, or America itself, the country we built, we are fighting for the consideration, kindness, and respect we are due.
Black women are being silenced. Our history is being whitewashed and our contribution downplayed. Efforts persist to reduce our existence entirely. We are fighting for love, our lives, and livelihoods while a burning America continues to stand on our shoulders as it has throughout time.
In Love, Me, Cross brings to life the souls of Black women today. In the face of a failing democracy, dwindling opportunity, and elusive love, she tells the story of how we, women of accomplishment and endurance, relentlessly use our humanity to preserve ourselves, our culture, and civilization.
Bold and provocative, Cross invites Black women to go from hopeless to hopeful as we fight to achieve our dreams, secure the love we deserve, and preserve the home we built. She argues that we must repair our personhood and society, and that starts with giving ourselves something to believe in. Cross takes us on an intimate journey through the internal and external battles we face, illuminating community and critiquing the politics of being a Black woman today.
With a blend of humor, pathos, and hard-hitting cultural analysis, Cross tackles issues like race, relationships, sex, family, economics, health, labor, and love. By bringing Black women to the forefront, she honors not just her story, but our story.
"Thee Black woman’s story for this era. It is both political and personal. It is both timely and, quite frankly, overdue." —Sunny Hostin, Emmy Award-winning journalist
Tiffany Cross is the former host of The Cross Connection on MSNBC, where she was ultimately fired, but whose firing made national headlines.
In Love Me Black, she focuses on the personhood and critiques the politics of being a Black woman in the US today, and how they are fighting for love, their lives, and livelihoods while a burning America continues to stand on their shoulders as it has throughout time.
We will utilize Cross's connections to the media and she will appear on multiple outlets for national broadcasts.
Some great early reads:
"Every Saturday we tuned in to Tiffany because she helped us contextualize what was happening in our turbulent nation, leaving us always smarter and more informed. In these uncertain times, we need her voice, her wit, her analysis, her compassion and her heart more than ever and I cannot wait to see her new book in the world." -- Nikole Hannah Jones, author of The 1619 Project
"Tiffany's story is unique because she's bold enough to tell it as someone in the public eye. Yet it's so incredibly common because it's the truth of Black women everywhere. She is us." -- Tarana Burke, Activist & Founder of the #MeToo movement
Tiffany will be joined in conversation with bestselling author Michael Harriot.
