A Friday Night Literary SalonBody. Burden. Becoming.
📅 Friday, November 13, 2026
🕖 Literary Salon: 7:00–10:00 p.m.
✨ First Light Circle: 6:30 p.m.
📍 Jo’s Upscale Resale
Southfield, Michigan
There are moments when the body knows long before the mind catches up.
Before we find the words.
Before we make the decision.
Before we understand what is changing.
Our bodies are often the first to remember, the first to grieve, the first to resist, and the first to reveal what our lives are asking of us.
Join Ber-Henda Williams and Carina Jackson, contributing authors to Modern-Day High Priestess, for an intimate Friday evening Literary Salon exploring what happens when we begin listening to the wisdom we’ve carried all along.
Through storytelling, conversation, music, reflection, and community, we’ll explore themes of identity, caregiving, healing, grief, boundaries, wellness, leadership, spirituality, and becoming.
This is not a traditional author talk.
It is a carefully curated literary salon where Black womanhood, body wisdom, literature, beauty, and sacred conversation share the same room.
Throughout the evening, you’ll experience:
✨ Live author conversation
✨ Guided audience reflection
✨ Curated music and atmosphere
✨ Light refreshments
✨ The Receiving Line with the authors
✨ Meaningful connection with a community of readers, leaders, creatives, and seekers
One story begins with listening.
The other begins with stopping.
Together they reveal a shared truth:
You cannot abandon yourself and call it sacred.
