In 2024 we celebrate 100 years of James Baldwin, the literary legend and civil rights champion. Our Penguin Random House colleagues and the Baldwin family have launched the Baldwin 100 podcast to celebrate the legacy of an the extraordinary Black writer, cultural icon, and Civil Rights activist. The first episode features PRHSB speakers and bestselling author Robert Jones Jr. Robert is the former “Son of Baldwin” creator and bestselling author of the novel THE PROPHETS, and in the first episode of Baldwin 100 he delves into who James Baldwin was and why he matters more than ever. Hosted by Cree Myles—curator of the award-winning online community All Ways Black—each episode of Baldwin 100 goes behind the scenes with authors, celebrities, and personal friends of Baldwin to give the inside scoop on who he was as a person, friend, author, speaker, and activist—and why he and his works are more relevant than ever today. Tune into the first episode here, or any other podcast feed: https://lnkd.in/dUF3XGpQ And find out more about Robert Jones, Jr. here: https://lnkd.in/gYEiQ2J9 (Artwork by Ernesto Yerena based on the original photo by Allan Warren.

As we celebrate #PrideMonth, we are honored to work with speakers who facilitate important conversations around identity and belonging year-round. We asked C Pam Zhang what Pride Month means to her. Pam is the author of the critically celebrated novels "How Much of These Hills Is Gold" and "Land of Milk and Honey." A thoughtful speaker, Pam talks to audiences about the joys and possibilities of using marginalized identities as a creative starting point, rather than a constraint. From fictional dystopian futures to unrecorded historical pasts, she celebrates how characters long considered marginal - queer, immigrant, impoverished, of a non-dominant race, etc. - can unlock powerful new ways of seeing the world. Find out more about Pam’s books and speaking here: https://lnkd.in/dkp4XC3i #prhspeakers #PrideMonth #inclusion #storytelling

We are honored to work with Emily Ladau as well as many other passionate speakers and activists who share their personal stories and equip organizations for inclusion and allyship during #DisabilityPrideMonth in July and all year round.
Are you ready for Disability Pride Month in July? Time is flying and it's already just around the corner! Although I can't emphasize enough how essential it is to recognize disability year-round and not just once a year, I'm also always excited for a month of celebrating disability history, culture, identity, and community. Honoring Disability Pride Month is such a valuable way to learn and make progress toward fostering an inclusive culture. Whether your organization is just getting started in the learning process or already well on your way, I'd love to support that effort. Speaking, educating, storytelling about disability are at the heart of what I do, so if you're planning an event, it would be a joy to join! But what's most important to me is that you find a speaker who is the right fit for your organization. Penguin Random House Speakers Bureau (which I'm so lucky to be represented by) put together a great list of speakers to consider for Disability Pride Month (including Lachi ♫, Sara Hendren, John Hendrickson, Tara Rae Moss, and Maya-Camille Broussard). Here's the list. Check it out, and if you'd like to work together, please reach out and let's make it happen! https://lnkd.in/eTzVbYts (Image description: Headshot of me, a white woman with curly brown shoulder-length hair wearing glasses and a purple sweater dress, sitting in a wheelchair. To the side is a quote from me, "If the disability community wants a world that's accessible to us, then we must make ideas and experiences of disability accessible to the world.") #DisabilityPride #DisabilityPrideMonth #DisabilityInclusion #DisabilityRights #DisabilityAdvocacy #DEI #DEIA #DiversityEquityInclusion #Accessibility #A11y #LinkedInTopVoices
