TENDER: A Celebration of Black Womxn & Femmes in Pittsburgh
Thursday, February 27 from 7:00 to 8:30 pm
Enjoy a reading and book signing featuring contributors to TENDER, a literary anthology & book of spells: evidence. This collection of poetry, prose, and art by Black womxn and femmes in Pittsburgh grew out of a longing for connection and comfort in a city and a world that is not always tender toward them. The book is a balm they made for themselves. This program will be co-hosted by co-editors and contributors Vanessa German and Deesha Philyaw.
