The Stonewall Speaker Series is an annual event hosted by the Cantú, which centers artists, activists, and storytellers working toward the liberation of trans and queer people of color. The inaugural event was established in 2019, fifty years after the Stonewall riots in June of 1969. The event’s namesake is a reminder of our community’s legacy and resilience in the ongoing fight for racial, economic, and gender justice. The Stonewall Speaker series aims to inspire collective action to ignite transformative change for the LGBTQIA+ community at UCSC and beyond.
The 3rd annual Stonewall Speaker Series is proud to present Ericka Hart as our featured speaker this year. Ericka Hart (pronouns: she/they) is a black queer femme activist, writer, highly acclaimed speaker and award-winning sexuality educator with a Master’s of Education in Human Sexuality from Widener University. Ericka’s work broke ground when she went topless showing her double mastectomy scars in public in 2016. Since then, she has been in demand at colleges and universities across the country, featured in countless digital and print publications like Vogue, Washington Post, Allure, Harper’s Bazaar, VICE, PAPER Mag, BBC News, Cosmopolitan, Vanity Fair, W Magazine, Glamour, Elle, and Essence. You can follow Ericka on their social media at @ihartericka.
