As we celebrate #PrideMonth, we are honored to work with speakers who facilitate important conversations around identity and belonging year-round. We asked C Pam Zhang what Pride Month means to her. Pam is the author of the critically celebrated novels "How Much of These Hills Is Gold" and "Land of Milk and Honey." A thoughtful speaker, Pam talks to audiences about the joys and possibilities of using marginalized identities as a creative starting point, rather than a constraint. From fictional dystopian futures to unrecorded historical pasts, she celebrates how characters long considered marginal - queer, immigrant, impoverished, of a non-dominant race, etc. - can unlock powerful new ways of seeing the world.
