Join sociopolitical comedian W. Kamau Bell and bestselling author Kate Schatz in this antiracism workshop designed to give attendees a clear understanding of systemic racism, white privilege, and Black disenfranchisement. Based on Bell and Schatz’s book, Do the Work! (Workman), this seminar will provide practical tools and real world applications booksellers can use in their ongoing antiracism work. Best known for his five-time Emmy Award-winning CNN docuseries United Shades of America, Bell has also appeared on Comedy Central, HBO, Fresh Air with Terry Gross, WTF with Marc Maron, The Breakfast Club, and This American Life. He has two stand-up comedy specials, Semi-Prominent Negro (Showtime) and Private School Negro (Netflix), and has been nominated for multiple NAACP Image Awards and a GLAAD award. Schatz is the New York Times bestselling author of Rad American Women A-Z, Rad Women Worldwide, Rad Girls Can, Rad American History A-Z, and the illustrated journal My Rad Life. This workshop is open to booksellers of all identities and races.
