ItsQwere announces Student Tix and Pay What You Can rates for Mighty Real

October 25, 2021

On Sunday, November 7 at 12 p.m. PST, comedian Sampson McCormick hosts Mighty Real: Black Voices In Conversation, a virtual event celebrating writers who expand social narratives through storytelling. 

Encouraging reading and literature as art, actively enrolled students of any academic level at any institution can access $10 Student tickets to Mighty Real 2021. For those who are not an actively enrolled student and looking to curb the cost of the $18 General Admission ticket, a Pay What You Can rate is available.

Benefitting Oakland LGBTQ Center, a uniquely all-inclusive LGBTQ community center led and founded by African Americans, the Mighty Real lineup is headlined by a Q&A segment with Robert Jones,, Jr., author of The Prophets, the instant New York Times bestselling romance tale two enslaved teenagers on a Deep South plantation.

Futurist, poet, dyke, hip-hop feminist Porsha Olayiwola (i shimmer sometimes, too) will offer a show-stopping poetry set. Also joining the Black Voices In Conversation lineup is Morgan Rogers (Honey Girl), Brontez Purnell (100 Boyfriends), Randy James (Shifters), and Junauda Petrus (The Stars And The Blackness Between Them).

In 2019, Mighty Real: A Queer Comedy Night raised nearly $1000 benefitting Compton’s Transgender Cultural District, and event partners included GLBT Historical Society, Plant Therapy, Radically Fit, and Code Tenderloin.

ItsQwere is an international conversation salon and event series highlighting Black people and people of color within the LGBTQ spectrum. Since 2018, ItsQwere has engaged communities in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, New York City, Paris, Bucharest, and Istanbul.
