AN EVENING WITH EMMA DABIRI

Banshee were delighted to recently host an evening with the brilliant Emma Dabiri, in conversation with Anna Rafferty, in association with the Women’s Irish Network.

Author, academic and broadcaster, Emma wrote the the Sunday Times bestseller What White People Can Do Next and Don't Touch My Hair. She has also presented several television and radio programmes. Born in Dublin to an Irish mother and Nigerian father, her experiences of racism, growing up as a person of mixed heritage in Ireland, has informed much of her work.

The evening’s discussion covered many topics, from social justice, diversity, activism and writing to gender equality in publishing and the need for change. The evening was not only a resounding success but also an incredibly insightful experience!

Anna Rafferty is Vice President at The LEGO Group where she leads a 1000+ strong team which looks after the LEGO Group's global digital consumer engagement.

The Women’s Irish Network is a voluntary organisation that provides spaces for women to network in a positive and relaxed atmosphere.
