About this Event

ABOUT THE READ IN

The Read In is a program of More of This: A Creative Learning Community—a space we’ve built to expand access, literacy, and connection through shared learning and cultural exchange. Facilitated by Mariah Ivey and Hallie Raikes, and supported by Artists At Work and the Center for Black Literature & Culture, this gathering invites you to slow down, sit with good reads, and be in conversation with the text and with each other—in ways that feel thoughtful, honest, and nourishing.



What to Expect

During our gathering, we will:

  • Discuss the book: How We Show Up: Reclaiming Family, Friendship, and Community by Mia Birdsong.
  • Enjoy light refreshments & drinks

No pressure, no prerequisites—you don’t have to be an avid reader or writer to be here. This is a space to show up as you are, get back into the rhythm of reading, or to stay grounded in it and to learn along the way.
