“Black Fatigue tells the truth. Mary-Frances Winters brilliantly shows us how Black fatigue animates our way of living and how the racism that causes it shapes social structures and affects the distribution of advantage and disadvantage.” (Eddie S. Glaude Jr.)
Donika Kelly reads from The Renunciations, then is joined in conversation by Ladan Osman.“A lionhearted odyssey through the self, a casting aside of old mythologies and traumas in search of new stories fashioned from love and joy. . . .
