BBA Founder and creator of the Ivory Tower project, Dr Deborah Gabriel, was interviewed by radio producer and host Hopeton Hay, of Kazi Radio in Austin, Texas during a week-long visit to America’s south central state.
During her visit she delivered a presentation at the University of Texas on Ivory Tower hosted jointly by the Center for Community Engagement and the Black Studies Department. Commenting on the interview, Dr Gabriel said: “Community Radio plays such an important role in encouraging reflection and discussion on important issues affecting Black communities. It was especially meaningful to talk about Toni Morrison and how Beloved helped me engage with Black Feminism and appreciate the value of lived experience in creating critical consciousness on raced and gendered discrimination, both historically and in contemporary society.”
