ABOUT THE EVENT HOSTS

All She Wrote Books:

At All She Wrote Books, we think of “intersectional,” “feminist,” and “queer” as more than tokenized buzzwords. Rather, we see them as guiding lights for all who seek a safe and supportive space of people who love, respect, and care for each other. We are committed to supporting our neighbors and uplifting the voices that have been silenced for far too long. On our curated shelves, those whose stories have, for centuries, been forcibly rewritten can find themselves.


Kiera’s Cabaret:

Kiera’s Cabaret is a Boston based drag showcase, produced and hosted by Kiera Knox. Kiera’s cabaret offers a rotating cast, highlighting some of Boston’s most talented queens, kings, things, and everything in-between. Their mission is to provide an inclusive space to showcase drag’s rich history, culture, and its varied artistic interpretations.


Read My Lips Boston:

Read My Lips Boston is a diverse romance bookshop that partners with breweries, cafes, and other establishments to host monthly mobile shops all around Boston. Their curated selection of love stories centers authors and main characters identifying as BIPOC, disabled, queer, big-bodied, and members of other groups historically underrepresented in the romance genre. Read My Lips donates 10% of their proceeds to local and national non-profits and social causes.
