The sista talk of all sista talks! Trey Anthony and Jemeni G. together, one night. Uncensored … two queens sit down and spill the tea! What’s it like to be a Black girl in love (with herself)? How do we get there? How do we remind ourselves? What does friendship look like for Black women? Can white women be our friends? And how do we get over our own complicated family trauma? Don’t miss this! They are going to be talking di tings! And telling the truth.

About the She’s Giving You the Read and Talking di Tings! series:

Join four amazing Black, female authors as they talk about their own writing journey. Are there more obstacles to overcome as a Black author? What does it take to get a book published? Why are Black stories important? How do they respectfully share intimate parts of their own lives while being respectful of their loved ones? What does talking di tings mean to them?

Presented in partnership with Kuumba (presented by TD Ready Commitment and funded by the Government of Canada), a series of events at Harbourfront Centre celebrating Black History Month that features the work of choreographers, authors, musicians, visual artists and thought leaders from across Canada.
