A positively fearless comedian, writer and actress, Ziwe has taken the internet by storm and redefined the boundaries of satire and cultural commentary with her provocative and hilarious interviews that confront America’s most uncomfortable truths about race, power, identity and politics.
As the host of “Ziwe,” she has welcomed guests like Fran Lebowitz, Gloria Steinem, and Stacey Abrams, along with a viral interview with George Santos after his expulsion from Congress. Named one of TIME’s 100 Next Gen Leaders, Ziwe blends wit and sharp insights into politics and culture.
This event was moderated by Shad, and is a part of the Phil Lind Initiative series What It Means to Be “American”: Navigating Identity in a Changing Nation, which grapples with the fluid and multifaceted nature of American identity amid rapid social and political turmoil and transformation.
