A Conversation with Christopher Rivas actor and author of "Brown Enough"

  • 3036 24th Street San Francisco, CA 94110 USA (map)

Join us for an afternoon with Christopher Rivas, actor and author of the critically acclaimed book, BROWN ENOUGH: True Stories About Love, Violence, the Student Loan Crisis, Hollywood, Race, Familia, and Making It in America. 

Christopher Rivas is quickly becoming one of the most sought after multi-hyphenates as an actor, author, podcaster, and storyteller. He recently released his debut book, Brown Enough, which explores what it means to be Brown in America. The book is part memoir and part social commentary, a roller coaster of finding one's true self while simultaneously having a racial awakening amidst the struggle to be "perfectly" Latinx, woke, and as Brown as possible to make it in today's America. He also recently developed two podcast series with SiriusXM's Stitcher: Brown Enough, which explores the parallel themes of this book through interview-style episodes; and Rubirosa, a 10-episode documentary-style investigation of Porfirio Rubirosa, a Dominican diplomat, race car driver, soldier and polo player who is believed to be the inspiration for the famous character ‘James Bond’. On screen, Rivas is known for his work on the Fox series, Call Me Kat, opposite Mayim Bialik, Leslie Jordan, Kyla Pratt and Cheyenne Jackson.
