A conversation with Tererai Trent, Ph.D., one of the most internationally recognized voices for quality education and women’s empowerment – and distinguished as Oprah Winfrey’s “All-Time Favorite Guest.”
Growing up in rural Zimbabwe without electricity or running water, Tererai Trent was married at age 11, had three children by age 18 – all the while yearning for an education that seemed to be a dream hopelessly out of reach.
With the help of Heifer International and other aid organizations, she persevered, moving to the United States and obtaining a bachelor’s, master’s, and a doctoral degree. With a $1.5 million donation from Oprah Winfrey, Trent was able to build a school in her native village, ensuring a quality education for the next generation of children.
Join us for a conversation with Tererai Trent, Ph.D., one of the most internationally recognized voices for quality education and women’s empowerment – and distinguished as Oprah Winfrey’s “All-Time Favorite Guest.” She is also author of The Awakened Woman: Remembering & Reigniting our Sacred Dream, the 2018 NAACP Image Award for Instructional Literature.

After parking in the garage, you can walk to the City Club’s entrance on Euclid Ave. via the covered walkway.
