Keisha The Sket, the noughties viral coming-of-age story, is now available in print for the first time and you can celebrate with her creator, Jade LB
She is joined at this event by writers Candice Carty-Williams and Aniefiok Ekpoudom, who have contributed essays to the print edition.
Keisha is a girl from the ends who is sharp, feisty and ambitious. She’s been labelled ‘top sket’, but she’s making it work.
When Ricardo, her childhood crush and long-time admirer, finally wins her over, Keisha has it all: power, a love life and the chance for stability. But trauma comes knocking and with it a whirlwind of choices that will define what kind of a woman she truly wants to be.
Jade LB, Carty-Williams and Ekpoudom reveal where they were when Keisha The Sket first broke the internet and share their thoughts on why it became such a memorable cultural moment for a generation of young Brits.
Time: 7.45pm
