It’s been awhile since I’ve talked about an event at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) but people, you don’t want to miss this one.

On November 14, Tariq Trotter aka Black Thought, legendary MC of The Roots will be in conversation with the one and only Jon Stewart. Tariq will be discussing his upcoming book, The Upcycled Self: A Memoir on the Art of Becoming Who We Are. I read the description and will definitely be purchasing a copy. The book sounds extremely compelling and I’m sure the talk between Tariq and Jon will be engaging, thoughtful and very entertaining.

Tickets are on sale now. For more information and tickets, go to BAM's website.

Yes, events are BACK!!! My favorite place in Brooklyn is having the talk of all talks. The activist, the ICON, Angela Y. Davis will be at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) on December 2 at 7 p.m. as part of the Unbound book series. In conversation with Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, a scholar and public intellectual in his own right, Davis will be discussing her book, An Autobiography, which was initially published and edited by the late Toni Morrison in 1974. Now being released as a new edition, the book will have a brand new introduction, one we will all be excited about.

Tickets for the event will go on sale for members on November 1 and for the rest of us on November 3. For more information and tickets, go to BAM's website.
