Add to Calendar 2020-10-07 18:30:00 2020-10-07 20:00:00 America/New_York Constellations: Eternity Martis KFPL, The Black Luck Collective, and Queen's SNID are pleased to present Eternity Martis, author of the enlightening memoir, They Said This Would Be Fun. In the Community - Zoom B

KFPL, The Black Luck Collective, and Queen's SNID are pleased to present Eternity Martis, author of the enlightening memoir, They Said This Would Be Fun.

A booksmart kid from Toronto, Eternity Martis was excited to move away to Western University for her undergraduate degree. But as one of the few Black students there, she soon discovered that the campus experiences she'd seen in movies were far more complex in reality. 

Eternity Martis is the author of the bestselling memoir They Said This Would Be Fun, “A powerful, moving memoir about what it's like to be a student of colour on a predominantly white campus.”

Our Constellations lectures series encompasses politics and identity, science and technology, arts and letters, and practical skills relevant to contemporary life.

This Constellations event is co-presented with Kingston's Black Luck Collective and Queen's Department of Studies in National and International Development. Constellations is sponsored by the Friends of the Kingston Frontenac Public Library.

This interactive online program will be held on Zoom. Registration will close four hours prior to the event, and registrants will be sent the link at least one hour prior to the start time. It is recommended that participants download Zoom in advance.
