Pittman as Keynote for 44th Annual Organization for the Study of Communication, Language and Gender-October 6-10, 2021

Thrilled to serve as the Keynote for the 44th OSCLG 2021 Conference. My lecture was "Wearing their Flesh like War: Women Worthy of Witness from the African Burial Ground to Anarcha and from Recy to Breonna Taylor" borrowing from the words of Audre Lorde and Toni Morrison for the title. After the keynote, I orchestrated the first ever OSCLG Remembrance ceremony to honor the fierce feminists and warrior women who have passed on to the Ancestral Realm.
So honored to be the recipient of the 2021 OSCLG Special Award for Intersectional Feminism and Social Justice and stand in community with this group of esteemed Feminists.
