SPECIAL EVENT: Talkback, "Love In Black & White" - March 12, 2015

By popular request, Lasheen Williams returns to The Seeing Place to be our special guest speaker on Thursday, March 12 immediately following a performance of OTHELLO by William Shakespeare.

This talkback will be an intimate post-show discussion about Lasheen's personal experiences with interracial relationships. Lasheen will lead the audience through a conversation about the way we still see and treat interracial couples in the U.S., long after Shakespeare wrote about it.

About Our Speaker:

Lasheen Williams was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, in the East New York section. As a child, he  had limited exposure to other cultures but had the drive to branch out from his neighborhood and broaden his horizons. As an adult, in the "dating game" his preference is Caucasian females. Throughout his dating experiences and life in general, he has encountered numerous roadblocks, negativity, and profiling, but he doesn't allow them to stop him in his pursuit. He is currently in a loving long-term relationship.

"…I was messaging a few women. One white girl responded, 'What makes you think that you can date a race that will never accept you and never want you?' "

About The Seeing Place:
