Former Secretary of State and presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton will appear at the third annual Ozy Fest that takes place July 21 and 22 in Central Park, the Daily News has learned.
Clinton will be interviewed by Laurene Powell Jobs, president and founder of the Emerson Collective, a nonprofit organization that advocates for progressive causes.
The whole mission of the festival is to bring diverse voices to one stage, and expose people to unexpected perspectives, Ozy Media founder Carlos Watson told the Daily News in April.
According to Watson, Clinton and Powell Jobs will discuss the politics of the moment, as well as emerging social movements and new opportunities concerning health, technology and family.
The former First Lady joins a lineup that already includes newsmakers like comedians Michelle Wolf and Chelsea Handler, actress Laverne Cox, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, writer Malcolm Gladwell, sportscaster Jemele Hill, billionaire Tom Steyer, author Salman Rushdie and more.
In addition to panel discussions and demonstrations, the festival at Rumsey Playfield will feature performances by musical acts Common, Passion Pit and Young the Giant, plus culinary experiences from celebrity chefs Marcus Samuelsson and Roy Choi.
After attracting more than 5,000 attendees for last year's single-day festival with a lineup that included Samantha Bee, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Katie Couric and Issa Rae, Ozy Fest will expand to two days in 2018.
The festival will also be live-streamed by the BBC.
In October, there was speculation that Clinton would join academia, with multiple sources revealing to the Daily News that the former New York senator was in talks to join the faculty of Columbia University.
