SUMMARY:Brown Lecture Series: Tamara Winfrey Harris
DESCRIPTION:Registration not required\, but encouraged. Check back at the Enoch Pratt Free Library website for the Eventbrite registration link. \nDial-In Information \nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://marylandlibraries.zoom.us/j/97222740531?pwd=SFA0Vk5QMlY2YS96SXNJSnpySE5TUT09\nPasscode: 897725 \nPresented in partnership with the Reginald F. Lewis Museum. \nTamara Winfrey Harris will be in conversation about her new book\, Dear Black Girl. \nMore than a year ago\, author Tamara Winfrey Harris asked a few Black women on social media to write 12 honest\, open\, and inspiring letters of support to young Black girls in a workshop aged thirteen to twenty-one to. She asked them to write letters that were loving\, truthful\, vulnerable\, feminist\, anti-racist\, body positive\, LGBTQ+ positive\, anti–respectability politics\, and pro–Black girl. Instead of twelve letters\, she received more than fifty from all over the world. And she continues to receive them. On scented paper. Through the internet. Shoved into her hands in Starbucks. Neatly printed on notebook paper. Typed. Scrawled in elegant swirls. In hand-decorated envelopes. These letters are the basis of Harris’ Dear Black Girl: Letters from Your Sisters on Stepping into Your Power. \nIn Dear Black Girl\, Winfrey-Harris introduces and organizes a selection of these letters\, modeling how black women can nurture future generations. Each chapter ends with a prompt encouraging girls to write a letter to themselves\, teaching the art of self-love and self-nurturing. \nASL interpretation will be available to attendees. \nVisit https://www.theivybookshop.com/ to order your copies of Dear Black Girl. \nThe Brown Lecture Series is supported by the Eddie C. and C. Sylvia Brown Foundation.
