About this Event

Unexpected Stretch: Book Listening Forum — Pop-Up Edition

What happens when life stretches you beyond what you planned?


Join author, national speaker, and educator Tauanja Kittrell, M.H.A. for an intimate Book Listening Forum — a live, unscripted conversation centered on her debut memoir, Unexpected Stretch: A Journey from Crisis to Calling.


This isn't a traditional book reading. This is a room where real stories meet real people. You'll hear chapters come alive, sit inside the framework that carried Tauanja through crisis, and walk away with language for the season you're in.


Whether you're mid-transition, rebuilding, or still trying to name what happened to you — this Forum was designed for you.


WHAT TO EXPECT:

— Author welcome & open mingling (5:00–5:30 PM)

— Book Listening Forum: live reading + framework conversation (5:30–6:30 PM)

— Open Q&A and community dialogue (6:30–7:30 PM)

— Book pre-sale orders, photos & send-off (7:30–8:00 PM)


ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Tauanja Kittrell holds a Master's in Healthcare Administration and brings over two decades across emergency medical services, healthcare operations, federal contracting, and adult education. She is the founder of Persistence Institute LLC and host of the Tap In Tuesday podcast on the Pursuing Possible Network.
