An Afternoon with Dr Maggie Semple OBE and Jane Oremosu

Join the authors of My Little Black Book: A Blacktionary, Dr Maggie Semple OBE and Jane Oremosu, for an afternoon of discussion on the ever-changing language of race, in celebration of Black History Month.

Through their work with organisations across the world, Dr Maggie Semple, OBE and Jane Oremosu found that there was a need to help people as they discussed identity, race and inclusion. My Little Black Book: A Blacktionary aims to do just that. This A-Z pocket guide is for people who are entering the workplace and finding their identity, for leaders and managers who feel overwhelmed by ever-evolving definitions and phrases, for anyone who is afraid of saying the wrong thing and being judged. From explaining what microaggressions are and their impact, to differentiating cultural appreciation from appropriation, this book will break down barriers to engaging in conversations on race.

Join the authors Dr Maggie Semple, OBE and Jane Oremosu at Foyles Charing Cross Road for a Sunday afternoon of exciting conversation and insights, fun and laughter. The event will be followed by a book signing.
