Together, they will delve into the power of storytelling to explore Black identity, resilience, and the complexities of navigating a world that often marginalizes Black voices.

Whether you’re a lover of literature, a supporter of social justice, or simply curious about the impact of storytelling on identity, this panel will offer invaluable insights into the ways we write, read, and understand Black lives.
