Alice Randall Biography

Alice Randall is a New York Times best-selling novelist, award-winning songwriter, educator, food activist, and now memoirist. A graduate of Harvard University, she holds an honorary doctorate from Fisk University, is on the faculty at Vanderbilt University, and credits Detroit’s Ziggy Johnson School of the Theater with being the most influential educational institution in her life. She is widely recognized as being one of the most significant voices in 21st century African-American fiction, the only Black woman in history to write both a number one Country song ("XXX’s and OOO’s") and an ACM video of the year ("Is There Life Out There?" starring Reba McEntire).

Randall has presented across the nation: In auditoriums, libraries, museums, and ballrooms; in fields, in graveyards, and harborside. She once did a talk for a group of students as they marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, In all those spaces she weaves history, literature, practical wisdom, and political passion into powerful exchanges with large and small audiences. She covers expected territory in unexpected ways and makes unexpected territory accessible. "My Black Country," memoir and album, is a summit of storied career. Randall’s work has been or is currently being taught at a wide range of universities, including Fisk, Harvard, Iowa State, Penn State, Philander Smith, Princeton, Tuskegee, The University of Texas Austin, The University of Virginia, and Wesleyan.

Alice Randall Speaking Topics

Everything You Do Isn't Racist

The Wind Done Gone vs. The First Amendment

A Novel Approach to Ending Health Disparity

Four out of five black women are seriously overweight and one out of four middle-aged black women has diabetes. With $174 billion a year spent on diabetes-related illness in America and obesity quickly overtaking smoking as a cause of cancer deaths, it is past time to try something new.

In this provocative presentation, Alice Randall—author of the much-cited New York Times op-ed "Black Women and Fat"—addresses simple, no-cost, and low cost ways of attacking health disparity through art, sex, and humor. She shares commonsense and creative ways to raise spirits, lower costs, and help balance the national budget by getting people to lose the ten percent of their weight associated with a 50 percent reduction in diabetes risk.
