INTRODUCING HALLE HILL. Currently living in North Carolina, Halle Hill is the author of the collection of short stories titled Good Women. Good Women follows 10 black women in Appalachia as they navigate generational trauma, blood-ties, desperation and obsession.

Up next in our author introductions is NPR Weekend Edition Sunday and Up First host Ayesha Rascoe! Rascoe’s novel HBCU Made: A Celebration of the Black College Experience is a joyous collection of essays about historically Black colleges and universities.

This Earth Day 🌎, we’re putting a spotlight on our Eco Distress Workshop. Join poet KATE PARTRIDGE, co-founder of the Good Grief Network, LAURA SCHMIDT, and young adult novelist LAUREN YERO as they discuss meaning and connection in these trying times of climate change. 🌿

Introducing our next author, Helena Hanson, MD, PhD ! Hanson’s work combines the principles of behavioral science and academic medicine. Whiteout reveals how a century of structural racism in drug policy and profit-oriented medical industries led to mass white overdose deaths.

Wanna brunch? We’re partnering with Magnolia House on Sun, May 19 for brunch before our final event. Tickets $30. Followed by Meet Me at the Carolina Table: A Celebration of the Life of Randall Keenan, Southern Food, & Carolina Culture.
