Step away from a world corrupted by destructive ideologies and emerge into an experience of fierce and flagrant reimagining, wherein the queer black femme narrative is divine law. In this galaxy, you – the femme, noire + queer – are god and goddess, protector and protected, lover and loved. In this reimagining, we, the femme, noire + queer, create our own circumstances based on a collective consciousness centered in justice and joy. This is a reading showcase. Featured Storytellers are Tahirah Alexander Green, JP Howard, Omotara James, Nia O. Witherspoon, and Nicole Shawan Junior.

Femme, Noire + Queer is a reading showcase produced by PEN America’s NYC Lit Crawl and curated by Nicole Shawan Junior.
