Part town hall, part variety show, yet ruggedly intellectual, Uppity is a monthly interactive convening of writers, artists, thinkers, politicians, comedians, professionals and, most importantly: you – for an irreverent exploration of arts, culture and politics. All deep fried in unapologetic highbrow Blackness.

Designed to challenge perception and champion free speech in a unique, warm and in places comedic and taboo-free manner, Uppity will make us all laugh, learn and come together to better understand each other and the world arund us.

Uppity™️ is founded by the writer, broadcaster, satirist and former banker, Nels Abbey (author of Think Like A White Man and The Hip-Hop MBA).
