About this Event
Black literature. Local voices. Join the conversation.
Pull up a chair for an honest, open talk about a story that stays with you long after the final page.
To wrap up our three-part residency at the Black Cultural Centre, we’re sitting down to talk about a story that spans generations: Yaa Gyasi’s Homegoing.
Following our social and our swap, we’re moving into the deep-dive. This isn't a literature seminar or a graded discussion. There are no "experts" in the room—just us, breaking down a book that touches on family, history, and the threads that connect us.
The Vibe:
- Open & Honest: We’re here to talk about the themes of roots, legacy, and survival. Whether the book left you with questions or big feelings, this is the space for it.
- Low Pressure: Haven’t quite finished the last chapter? Come anyway. There’s no judgment here—we’re talking about the big picture and the impact of the journey.
- Community-Led: A space to listen to each other and see how these stories mirror our own experiences.
Collaboration & Support
