about.
Ewuare X. Osayande is an award-winning poet, essayist, publisher, international social justice activist and anti-oppression educator.
Osayande’s writing, speaking, organizing and workshops are rooted in the liberating traditions of resistance to the systems of white supremacy, colonialism, capitalism and patriarchy.
Lewis R. Gordon, author of An Introduction to Africana Philosophy, has called Osayande, “Passionate, provocative, evocative, insightful and always truthful. Osayande’s work stands as one of the best examples of prophetic criticism that speaks not only to, and from, the contemporary Africana experience, but to anyone interested in the struggle for human liberation.”

WORKSHOPS
“Ewuare Osayande’s workshops are rooted in history and fact, grounded in reality and truth. He is a powerful and dynamic speaker, and his words will linger in your head for days, weeks and — if you do the follow up work that he recommends — the rest of your life.”
K. Zaiden, Student Environmental Action Coalition
“Osayande’s passion, compassion and hope drew our students to him. His scholarship-based approach on the realities of racial oppression was indisputable. Our students were challenged to appreciate their collective humanity. He has planted the seeds of power. We continue to tend the garden in anticipation of social justice in full bloom!”
Dr. G. A. Foster, Multicultural Affairs, Bard College
“While many speakers talk about race, Osayande took us through the steps of its actual construction, leaving us with a clear understanding. Osayande facilitates in a way that is patient but leaves no room to avoid speaking directly to the heart of the issues of racism and privilege. His workshops are challenging, but in a way that makes us stronger.”
