ALL THE WOMEN IN MY FAMILY SING is monumental and timely as human rights and justice are being challenged around the world. Both written and published entirely by women of color, including the editing, cover design, and promotions, the book empowers underrepresented voices and endeavors to impact the world of book publishing in America — particularly important in an industry that considerably lacks diversity.
This event will be held on Tuesday, September 11th at 7:30 pm and it is open to children and teens 10 years and older.
Please simply have your community RSVP for this free event on our Eventbrite page here. The lecture will be hosted in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco at 56 Lloyd Street.
