About this Event
Bookshop Benicia (636 First Street in downtown Benicia) will host a stellar Black History month event. Attendees will witness the literary launch of "Starship Sankofa: Ancestral Algorithms Conjuring Black Futures." The event will feature nine outstanding Black speculative fiction authors who will read from their selected works, weaving tales to chart a course through time. Listen to the cultural wisdoms that prime imaginations for liberated Black futures, each story acting as a starry node in the constellation of Afrofuturism.
This event is organized by Audrey T. Williams, an East Bay Area oral storyteller, activist, writer, and poet. Featured authors are: MK Chavez, Jenee Darden, Kevin Dublin, Jacalyn Eyvonne, Duane Horton, Sumiko Saulson, Shawn Taylor, and Tamika Thompson.
Audrey Williams is no stranger among writers and poets in Benicia. Last October, in collaboration with Benicia Poet Laureate Katrina Monroe, Audrey presented a free Zoom workshop on writing poetry as a tool for wellness, and she is a regular at the Writers' Salon held in the Benicia Public Library. She may be found at literary events, fantasy/sci-fi cons, anywhere and everywhere in the greater Bay Area.
Books will be available for sale and light refreshments will be offered. This will surely be one of the most exciting and interesting literary events of 2025!
