ENCORE PRESENTATION – One Night Only!

Saturday, July 29th
4:00pm – 5:30pm

DURATION: 50 minutes + 30 minutes for Q & A

In “MexiStani!” Sofie Khan journeys through storybits about everything from Trader Joe’s tamales, to growing up in a Black and Puerto Rican neighborhood, to her Mexican-Pakistani identity triumphs among her Catholic and Muslim family members, TSA agents, gas station cashiers and White House personnel. Does she favor her Mexican side over her Pakistani side? Does she choose to be Catholic or Muslim? If Trump deports her, where does she go? And how does Hip Hop and the LGBT community play a role up in this mix? Expect things to get thought-provoking, emotional and hysterical!

“Sofie Khan is super talented, funny and warm!"
- Gina Yashere, Comedian & British Correspondent, The Daily Show
