Will Moderates "Big Ideas Night"

In partnership with The OUT Foundation and Ben & Jerry’s, Random House recently hosted their "Big Ideas Night Presents: Pride" moderated by Will Lanier, Founder and Executive Director of The OUT Foundation.Will spoke to others Alicia Garza (THE PURPOSE OF POWER), John deBary (DRINK WHAT YOU WANT), R. Eric Thomas (HERE FOR IT), Jesse Szewczyk (TASTY PRIDE), Nico Tortorella (SPACE BETWEEN), and Arlan Hamilton (IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME), who shared stories and readings about what Pride means to them.Before Pride was a celebration, it was a riot—something we remain acutely aware of as we spend Pride month 2020 protesting and demanding justice for our Black citizens.This year, alongside these authors, in addition to raising our voices in protest, Random House is celebrating Pride by reflecting on everything it means—for us today, for those in the LGBTQIA+ community who came before us, and for the future.Watch the video below:THE PURPOSE OF POWER by Alicia Garza: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/bo...DRINK WHAT YOU WANT by R.
