Talking Toni: Jazz
This Is Our 2nd Talking Toni Session — Save the Date!!!
In one month me and my bookish friend C. Elyse are hosting our second Talking Toni Zoom Discussion.
With the help of those who joined us last time we collectively agreed that we would read Jazz next in celebration of Juneteenth
This post is not only a reminder for those who have already registered, but filled with resources to aid in making in through the book.
Toni’s writing style is unmatched and has a reputation for being intimidating.
I started reading it years ago and did not finish. Up til now, it’s been collecting dust on the shelf. Now, i’m picking it back up with my community to make sure i make it through the end 🤭
When: Saturday, June 27th, @ 3 pm EST.
Where: Zoom
How: Register Here
By the way, to eliminate Zoom bombers, unregistered attendees will not be granted access to the Zoom room!

This is divine timing, I just looked outside from my desk in my office and said, "well better sit out in the garden and catch some sun before it goes" and picked up Jazz! See you in June.
