Farai Chideya has honed her powerful speaking skills over the course of her twenty years in journalism. For her, lectures are not just a chance to speak, but also to listen…to engage, share, and learn. She can bring up issues that people generally don’t want to talk about in a way that encourages openness and new understandings within communities, campuses, and workplaces.

Topics of her recent lectures include:

• The Color of Our Future: Race, Ethnicity and Our Role in Shaping the New America
• How the Internet is Changing the Way We Live, Work, and Love
• My Favorite Mistake: How Not to Worry About Making the Right Decision… And Learn How to “Make the Decision Right”

Farai is also an experienced commencement speaker. In May 2008 she delivered the commencement address at Villa Julie College in Maryland, and received an honorary doctorate.

She has delivered commencement addresses at several other schools, including the University of California Berkeley’s Black College Graduation and the University of Southern California’s School of Journalism Graduation.
