About this event
As authors our words are given a unique scrutiny, not reserved for the average individual. For those whose words do not align with the great colonial storyline the weight and therefore the discrimination are interpersonal. Any thing and everything become propaganda or agenda. The impact of these interactions and their resulting feelings are rarely given the same space to air and exhort their power.

An intimate dialogue, meant for their son, discusses in raw form the full emotional whirlwind of trying to survive in a country terrorizing their existence. Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the world and Me, shares secrets of Afro-ancestored fatherhood. Through the hopes of redemption; while directly conquering fears of trans generational repetition

Our two-part book club will digest the whole range of honest vulnerability sol Coates exposed themselves, family, family history; & son too. The seed that would create such a loving act of sensitivity against hatred. What the impact is to all parties. Culminating with a community space to discuss our own “letters” and where these experiences have shaped us.
