Notes on a Blacklash is veteran White House reporter April Ryan’s gripping, soul-baring look at what happens when the world suddenly turns its full attention on you. On November 4, she joins The Ivy Bookshop at The Church of the Redeemer to tell its story. And that’s more than just one viral moment with President Trump– it’s about all the moments that made her go viral, not because she chased attention, but because she showed up authentically. It’s the story of Ryan’s presence, her truth, and her refusal to shrink under pressure. It explores how race, gender, and power collide in a world addicted to outrage and instant opinions. At its core, this book explores visibility–its price, its power, and the fight to reclaim your story when millions are watching. Its energetic spirit is contagious, and we look forward to this evening together, reminding ourselves of all the things worth standing up for. We are thrilled that Dr. Kimberlé Crenshaw, American civil rights advocate and scholar of critical race theory, will join April Ryan in conversation.
