'Slay In Your Lane' authors in conversation with Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff

From education to work to dating, this inspirational, honest and provocative book recognises and celebrates the strides black women have already made, while providing practical advice for those who want to do the same and forge a better, visible future. Part of the BGF x Becoming Festival, brought to you by Black Girl Fest and Penguin Books. Becoming by Michelle Obama is out now: https://amzn.to/2JXRjTA.

Michelle Obama is returning to London in April, for a sold-out event at the O2 Arena as part of her ongoing international book tour for Becoming. To celebrate the success of her book, Black Girl Fest hosted a free 3-day festival of talks and workshops inspired by the themes of the former First Lady’s memoir. Though Michelle Obama herself will not be appearing at the Festival, attendees will have the chance to celebrate values raised in the book through the huge variety of events on offer.

Speakers include Diane Abbott MP, the Shadow Home Secretary; best-selling novelist Dorothy Koomsom and Yomi Adegoke and Elizabeth Uviebinené, authors of the bestselling Black Girl bible ‘Slay in Your Lane’.

For ages 11 and upwards, BGF x Becoming Festival will offer poster making workshops, bitesize history lessons on Black British feminism, creative writing workshops, and in conversations between brilliant black women within the creative industries.

The festival took place at Canada Water Library from Tuesday 9 - Thursday 11th April 2019.
