Her scholarship spans intersectionality, gender studies, race and racism, sociology, and United States history. She will be speaking with us about her life and work as they relate to dialogues of intersectionality and the politics of Pride. Imani graduated with a degree in history from Louisiana State University where, in 2014, she founded Equality for HER, a (now closed) non-profit organization that provided resources and a forum for women and nonbinary people to feel empowered. In 2016, Imani's dedication to community took her to the front lines of a Black Lives Matter protest and, following her arrest at the protests of Alton Sterling's murder in Baton Rouge, Blair began building a platform and social media presence to organize and create awareness about injustices in her communities.
As an influencer and historian, semi-retired organizer, and public speaker, Blair Imani is dedicated to making the world a better place and amplifying the voices and work of those fighting the good fight.
