Join us for a powerful and heart-expanding conversation as we read Choosing Family: A Memoir of Queer Motherhood and Black Resistance by Francesca Royster—a deeply moving exploration of identity, community, and the families we build.

Royster weaves together personal history, cultural criticism, and intergenerational storytelling to illuminate what it means to parent, to resist, and to love boldly as a Black queer woman. Her memoir challenges traditional narratives while celebrating the beauty of chosen family and the strength found across generations.

📅 Saturday, January 10th
⏰ 11:30 AM
📍 In partnership with ARCO and Whose Books

✨ “The book builds on an intergenerational lineage of powerful women… A potent love letter to community in all its forms.”
—Kirkus Reviews
