Hispanic Heritage Month- Listen! A Conversation with One Book Author Jennifer De Leon
As a freshman in college, Jenn was not prepared for the academic, social, cultural, and institutional differences she would confront at her private liberal arts college in New England that she says resembled a country club. In this heartfelt, honest talk, Jennifer De Leon describes moments of conflict, roadblocks really, that she experienced as an undergraduate who dreamed of being a writer — roadblocks that she ultimately turned into stepping-stones. An inspirational keynote geared toward first-gen and students of color, but really for anyone who has ever faced adversity in any way, it concludes with a reading from her award-winning essay collection, White Space: Essays on Culture, Race, & Writing and an audience Q & A.
She is the 2022-2023 BHCC One Book Program author.
