SPEAK Presents Julie Lythcott-Haims

 

SPEAK is a coalition of San Francisco K-8 schools, including The San Francisco School, that have joined together to enhance parent education. They are pleased to present an evening with Julie Lythcott-Haims, the New York Times bestselling author of How to Raise an Adult, discussing her new memoir. 

Real American is a deeply personal, biting, and affecting account of Lythcott-Haims’s life growing up as a biracial Black woman in America. She served as the dean of freshmen and undergraduate advising at Stanford University, where she received the Dinkelspiel Award for her contributions to the undergraduate experience. She holds a BA from Stanford, a JD from Harvard Law, and an MFA in writing from the California College of the Arts. She is a member of the San Francisco Writers Grotto and resides in the Bay Area with her husband, their two teenagers, and her mother. Learn more about her at www.julielythcotthaims.com.

“A courageous, achingly honest meditation on what it means to come to consciousness as a mixed-race child and adult in a nation where Black lives weren’t meant to matter.” 
—  Michelle Alexander, New York Times bestselling author of The New Jim Crow
