Reagan Jackson launches Still True, a time capsule of a decade of her choices as a journalist, part memoir and part essays. Cultural leader Tim Lennon and author Jen Soriano will join Reagan in conversation.

In Still True: The Evolution of an Unexpected Journalist, author and activist Reagan Jackson chronicles her journey into the world of journalism. Art, cinema, social justice, feminism, Black reparations, health & reproductive rights, dance, education—while Jackson’s subjects range far and wide, her writing brings an intimacy & immediacy to all.

Reagan Jackson believes in creating communities of belonging and the efficacy of critical thinking followed by action. She is a multi genre writer (poet, novelist, award winning journalist, children's book author), an artist, activist, and international educator with an abiding love of justice, spirituality, and traveling to new places. Reagan is passionate about providing young people with the opportunities and support. To that end she is the co-Executive Director of Young Women Empowered and has taken over two hundred youth abroad to Japan, Guatemala, and Mexico respectively. She is the cohost and producer of the Deep End Friends Podcast. You can find our more about her at www.reaganjackson.com
