About The Event

Join us for a powerful evening of truth-telling, community, and celebration with Dr. Jonathan P. Higgins—aka Doctor Jon Paul—as they present their acclaimed book:

Black. Fat. Femme: Revealing the Power of Visibly Queer Voices (in Media) and Learning to Love Yourself)

Dr. Higgins invites us to reflect on identity, resilience, and representation—drawing inspiration from cultural icons like André Leon Talley and Latrice Royale. This is a must-attend experience for anyone passionate about visibility, self-love, and the intersectional power of Black queer voices.

Moderated by Toi Thibodeaux, Program Director of the IE LGBTQ+ Center, this engaging event will include:
A reading from the book
A moderated discussion and open Q&A
Book signing and meet-and-greet
