Jillisblack

Jill is Black (http://jillisblack.tumblr.com) is a writer, blogger, and facilitator/trainer/lecturer, focusing on issues of Race, Power, and Privilege in modern-day America. She amassed a diverse following via her social media account, @jillisblack--where her social commentary is centered around inner and outer-community hierarchies, the myth of white fragility and other words for racism, the endlessly-pending and highly-exclusive revolution, and dating and relationships through the eyes of social media. It is Jill’s belief that the shift away from anti-blackness will begin with an outpouring of radical, multi-generational, inclusive and validating honesty. This is the revolution she wishes to be invited to. Jill was born in Oakland, raised in Alabama, and currently resides in Washington State. This talk was part of programming connected with our Mari Evans exhibit/mural project at Tube Factory artspace. (http://www.bigcar.org/event/mari-evans/)
