Hey, Remember June? On June 22nd there was a little show called How I Learned Who's Coming to Dinner: Stories About Race + Identity. It was all about melting pots, racist cab drivers, miscegenation, weird stalkers and intolerant dysfunctional families. You know, the usual How I Learned good times. There was almost a race riot in the line to the bathroom.
Here is some video footage for you to enjoy.
P.S. I have to give special thanks to Dodai Stewart. She came to How I Learned and introduced me to my true self, my animal spirit, my inner small brown horse with zebra stripes. The video below will explain everything. She should be a life coach for multiracial women everywhere.
Since 2009, How I Learned has featured some of the best live storytelling, comedy, and readings in New York City. It all happens a couple of times a year, and sometimes more than that, which basically means you'll have the best night of you life on those nights, repeatedly.
