Register to Attend

In light of all the recent events in America, EvCC's Black Student Union, Diversity & Equity Center, and Student LIFE partnered to invite Monti Washington to come talk about Which Lives Matter. Monti Washington is an author, speaker, actor, playwright, and activist. As a Leadership and Diversity speaker he has spoken to thousands of students on campuses nationwide, promoting the importance of diversity and inclusion. Monti grew up in deplorable conditions, raised on the streets in poverty; suffering abuse in multiple foster homes; and struggling with depression. Motivated by his personal experiences with racism, classism, and prejudice, Monti has passionately devoted his life to spreading a message of hope through inclusion, understanding, and acceptance.

Everyone knows that all lives matter, but the question is do they matter equally? “WHICH LIVES MATTER” is an intense, inclusive, educational event, intended to build bridges, not walls. Speaker, poet, and activist Monti Washington helps us explore the history, conditioning, stereotypes, and racism that separates and divides our community and nation. He addresses the issues from a social media and social justice perspective. With spoken word poetry, personal stories, and social media examples, you will learn how you can make a difference on your campus and in your community. By the conclusion of this event, you will see that your voices matter, your opinions matter, and most importantly, that “ALL YOUR LIVES MATTER”. Register today and you’ll receive a Zoom link 2 hours before the event.
