For Women’s History Month, join us for a common read and book discussion on Memphis (2022) by poet and former attorney Tara Stringfellow. Memphis follows three matrilineal generations of African American women. Share your thoughts with us as we discuss the book on March 25, at 6 pm, on Zoom.

As one of the learning opportunities provided by the Anti-Racism Team, we choose Black, Indigenous, and Authors of color for this book group as a way to: 1) expand our minds and hearts by delving into multicultural, intersectional spaces we might not experience on our own, 2) to financially support and generate wealth for BIPOC authors, 3) broaden our bookshelves, being more intentional about appreciating the literary value of BIPOC authors.

Thanks to those who have sent book suggestions along. We welcome all newcomers to the book read and discussion. If you’d like to join the team to choose the books, lead a discussion, or offer book suggestions for Black, Indigenous, or Authors of Color, please let us know. Contact Kat Wolfram kmwolfram@gmail.com. Also contact Kat for Zoom link.
