Abstract

In her keynote address, Richael will discuss how her identities as a young, southern, Black, queer female shapes her experience with power and animates her work as an organizer, writer, and lawyer. In particular, she will focus on her current work as a community lawyer at the D.C.-based organization, Advancement Project, where she is using a variety of tools to engage powerful institutions - law and politics - to support the struggle of persons who have lost their right to vote as a result of criminal convictions.
