After four years since the workshops, Writing in the Hoodoo Tradition returns - this time as a book talk!
On Monday, October 14th, at 7 PM ET, we gather to witness the power of words, magic, and survival. Phillip B. Williams brings us OURS, a novel that does not flinch and confronts the history of slavery with the fierce resilience of Black Conjure.
In OURS, Saint, a conjure woman, doesn’t just free the enslaved; she builds a town, a sanctuary for the freed, protected by magic. A story of liberation, community, and survival, OURS is a declaration of what it means to reclaim power.
Williams, also the author of the poetry collections Mutiny, a 2022 American Book Award winner, and Thief in the Interior, winner of the 2017 Kate Tufts Discovery Award, will be in conversation with Hess Love, Julia Mallory, and Amanzi Arnett, exploring the themes of Hoodoo, freedom, and the sacredness of storytelling.
Toya R. Smith a writer, priestess, and conjure woman, will moderate this profoundly transformative discussion, where writing becomes ritual, resistance, and revival.
This is not just a talk. This is a return to ourselves. You do not want to miss this.
