Roxane\u27s writing is unmatched and widely revered. Her work garners international acclaim for its reflective, no-holds-barred exploration of feminism and social criticism.

Her collection of essays, Bad Feminist, is universally considered the quintessential exploration of modern feminism. Roxane is a contributing op-ed writer for The New York Times, w co-editor of PANK, and formerly w non-fiction editor at The Rumpus. Her writing also appeared in McSweeney’s, The Nation and many other publications. She recently became the first black woman to ever write for Marvel, writing a comic series in the Black Panther universe called World of Wakanda. Roxane fronts a small army of avid fans on social media and when she finds the time, she dominates the occasional Scrabble tournament. www.roxanegay.com Poster designed by FAVOR Design & Communications.https://digitalcommons.risd.edu/studentaffairs_MLK_posters/1046/thumbnail.jp
