We’re thrilled to announced our new partnerships with two amazing women and talented speakers, Charlene Strong and Arianne Cohen. Though their fields of expertise may seem to differ at first glance, they both champion diversity in our society and dedicate their careers to making a difference, in line with the mission of Samara Lectures:
Charlene Strong is an acclaimed civil rights advocate and proponent of marriage equality. After her partner of many years was tragically hospitalized in a flash flood, and she was not allowed access to the hospital room during her final moments because theirs was a same-sex relationship, Charlene dedicated her life to advocating for equality. We are happy to represent Charlene in partnership with the LFB Advocacy Group.
Arianne Cohen is a journalist whose Sex Diaries Project website and books have provided unparalleled insight into how people of all walks of life conduct and feel about their personal lives. Her lecture will unveil the diversity of relationships being conducted today and will forever change how you think about them.
