Celebrate Black love & HBCU pride with Ebony LaDelle at Baldwin & Co. for an inspiring talk on *You’ve Got a Place Here, Too*!
About this Event

Join us at Baldwin & Co. for a special evening with Ebony LaDelle, bestselling author of Love Radio and editor of the powerful new anthology You’ve Got a Place Here, Too: An Anthology of Black Love Stories Set at HBCUs.


This heartwarming collection features stories from some of today’s most celebrated Black voices—including Elizabeth Acevedo, Kiese Laymon, Nicola Yoon, Kennedy Ryan, and more—and centers the joy, complexity, and enduring spirit of Black love on HBCU campuses. From second chances and soulful first encounters to radical self-discovery, these stories remind us that love, legacy, and belonging are worth fighting for.


In this intimate author talk, Ebony will discuss the inspiration behind the anthology, the power of HBCUs, and the significance of centering Black joy and romance in literature. Whether you’re an HBCU alum, student, or simply a lover of meaningful storytelling—you’ll leave this event feeling seen, inspired, and celebrated.


Event Highlights:

  • Live author talk and conversation with Ebony LaDelle
  • Behind-the-scenes insights into curating the anthology
  • Audience Q&A
  • Book signing & photo opportunity
  • Community, connection, and literary magic


Come celebrate Black love, HBCU pride, and the stories that remind us: you’ve got a place here, too.
