LEVEL FORWARD
BRAVE STORYTELLING
Inspired by the stories, characters, events, and themes within the 10,000 Books Banned across the USA (such as Wicked, 1984, The Handmaid's Tale, and more), join Level Forward’s Anthem award-winning conversation series, MORE TO TALK ABOUT, for an urgent conversation traversing the past, present, and future of story censorship, examining why and how books get banned, and uplifting the desperate importance of libraries. Hosted by Andrea Ambam and featuring special guests OlaRonke Akinmowo (Founder of The Free Black Women’s Library) and Dr. Mahogany L. Browne (Banned Book Author && Kennedy Center's Next 50 Fellow).
Representing Lea Tupu'anga/Mother Tongue - a short film now in Oscar contention - Stacey Young (Founder and Executive Director of the Pacific Island Film Festival) underscores the very mission of More To Talk About. Once a film is made, we must create more opportunities to extend the impact potential of storytelling through conversation and connection.
