Bobbie O’Connor is a strong advocate for social justice; her activism is clear in her writing. She has written and performed Screams Echo, a piece about how the screams of racism echo through the centuries, as well as pieces for the Florida Times Union about violence against women and her own white privilege.  Additionally, she performed Gender in a Binary World at the Coming Out Monologues to foster understanding and diminish transphobia.  A recent work, Home Again, is about reclaiming voice and self-authority after sexual abuse.  She is currently working on a book of personal essays about ever-present misogyny.

Come hear wise words with Bobbie O’Connor at the JaxbyJax Literary Arts Festival on Saturday, November 16th in downtown Jacksonville.
