Dear Family,
Thank you so much for coming out to support the Lit 16 for our First Quarter Fire Circle reading!
If you attended, then you know that Candice Marie Benbow, Aaron Foley, Chantal V. Johnson, and Alejandro Varela moved the virtual crowd of over 200 people with their grace, humor, vulnerability, and creativity. We got a little fancy with the Crowdcast 2.0 set up. It was a moment, y’all! :)
If you missed it, you’re in luck! The replay is available here.
For Deesha Philyaw, Kiese Laymon, and myself, it was an honor to host these exceptional writers and to shine a light on their literary artistry. We very much look forward to their future endeavors.
A special shout out to Hannah, Christine, and the entire team at Loyalty Bookstores for providing the safest, most joyous space for our gathering.
To purchase the works by Candice Marie, Aaron, Chantal, and Alejandro, please visit the Loyalty Bookstores Lit 16 site. For information about our next reading, which will be held in January, please subscribe to this newsletter and follow the #Lit16 hashtag on social media.

Happy Friday!
Blessings upon blessings,
