Introduction by Lalita Tademy

ONLINE SALES ARE CLOSED - SOME GENERAL ADMISSION SEATS WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR.


Spend your Saturday night with witty and self-deprecating cyber-pioneer and Stanford alumna, Issa Rae.  Her collection of humorous essays explores what it's like to be an introvert in a world that glorifies cool.  

My name is "J" and I'm awkward - and black.  Someone once told me those were the two worst things anyone could be.  That someone was right.  Where do I start?

Rae covers everything from cyber-sexing in the early days of the Internet to deflecting unsolicited comments on weight gain, from navigating the perils of eating out alone and public displays of affection to learning to accept yourself-natural hair and all.        

Rae's content has garnered over 20 million views and over 150,000 YouTube subscribers (and counting).  In addition to making "Glamour" magazine's "35 Under 35" list as well as "Forbe's 30 Under 30" list and winning the Shorty Award for Best Web Show for  her hit series "The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl," Rae has received national attention with major media outlets including "The New York Times", CNN, "Elle", "Seventeen", "Rolling Stone", VIBE, Fast Company, MSNBC, "Essence", Fader, and more.

Before writing full-time, Lalita was Vice President and General Manager of several high technology companies in Silicon Valley, spending over a decade running business units within large corporations. Featured in Fortune's "People on the Rise" list, as well as Black Enterprise and Ebony, in 1998 she was named an African-American Innovator in the New Millennium at the Silicon Valley Tech Museum of Innovation.
