Black Girls with Bookmarks—Charlotte

Join us as we meet Dolen Perkins-Valdez, author of our July book, Happy Land, and a past favorite, Take My Hand.

This is not our regular book discussion meeting but instead a time to ask and speak directly with the author. Bring your questions on the book, her writing process, or anything else you’ve been meaning to ask her; now’s your chance! No questions, no problem! Still come for the chance to listen in and hear directly from the author herself!

Excited to chat with you all around Happy Land by Dolen Perkins-Valdez.

We’ll be meeting at Cork & Cap located at Camp North End. The venue is hosting us for free, so please support them by purchasing a beverage if you’re inclined! Food is available at the stalls directly across from Cork & Cap. Please try to arrive early if you plan on grabbing food :)

Please note this is the in-person meetup. If you're interested in joining us for the virtual meetup, please RSVP there
