Comedian and former The Daily Show host Jon Stewart will be joining Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter for a conversation in Brooklyn next month.

The pair will discuss Trotter’s memoir, The Upcycled Self: A Memoir on the Art of Becoming Who We Are at BAM Howard Gilman Opera on November 14.

In the publication, the Grammy Award-winning co-founder of The Roots explores vital questions we all have to confront about our formative years. 

“In The Upcycled Self: A Memoir on the Art of Becoming Who We Are, Trotter doesn’t only narrate a riveting and moving portrait of the artist as a young man, he gives readers a courageous model of what it means to live an examined life,” described BAM in a news release. 

“In vivid vignettes, he tells the dramatic stories of the four powerful relationships that shaped him — with community, friends, art, and family — each a complex weave of love, discovery, trauma, and loss.”

Tariq Trotter in Conversation with Jon Stewart goes Tuesday, November 14.
