About the Speaker & Talk
An Iowa Writers’ Workshop alum, Magogodi is a Caine Africa Prize, Hedgebrook, MacDowell and Rona Jaffe Award honoree. She leads immersive courses and experiences at Love As A Kind of Cure, a social enterprise she co-founded to dismantle white supremacy. Her first book, Innards, was described by The New York Times as "a gut punch of a collection...that astonishes."
In this talk, she considers what it means to dream and write in a language once used to colonize her ancestors, a language still used to alienate across caste and class. She tells the story of how she found liberation through language and how language offers us a powerful path back to love.
