12:35 PM - 1:15 PM – Keynote address from Adora Nwofor

Join us, as Calgary born comedian and activist Adora Nwofor discusses the reality of racism.

Adora Nwofor is a disruptor, with a sense of humour. She's certainly unique and yet has something relatable to everyone due to her anthropology background and plethora of extraordinary world experiences.

She can be seen on stages hosting events such as Folk Fest, Cariwest, Femme Wave, and was the grand marshal of the Women’s March (2017/2018). As a speaker at the City of Calgary yearly diversity in leadership conference she has a waiting list due to great interest and her inclusive and informed speaking style. Adora's comedy has a feminist point of view, with a dark twist.

UCalgary Diversity Days, Feb 5-7, 2019 offers free events and activities to explore relevant topics. Check out the full schedule.
