New Location; Another Success

February's reading at Bluestockings on the Lower East Side went really well despite a lot of anxiety. In the end we were pleased with everyone's performance, the location and the support and feedback from the audience.

We'd like to take a moment to thank Brother Omi, Juju, Gia Shakur & Ms. Eb the Celeb who got up on the mic and did her thang as a virgin to the literary stage. We knew she had it in her:)

Ebonne Jones

We'd also like to extend big, warm hugs to everyone who came out to support, including fellow writer Fikriyyah George (@fgeorgewriter on Twitter) who was ready to pinch-hit/read when it appeared that one of our writers was a no-show.

What a beautiful group of writers!
