Oak Park Speaker Series: Resmaa Menakem

The Oak Park Speaker Series welcomes the return of New York Times Best Selling Author Resmaa Menakem to discuss his latest novel Monsters in Love.

The Oak Park Speaker Series is a monthly fireside chat featuring Black thought leaders and influencers from around the country. This month they will be featuring Resmaa Menakem, as he discusses his latest novel, Monsters in Love, which challenges the idea that conflict between partners is unhealthy or something to avoid. Instead, it encourages both people to stand by what they need and who they are—but to do so with compassion rather than competitiveness or vengefulness.
