Each stop will be a unique experience, as Kwame shares selections from the book, followed by an intimate conversation with an incredible group of partners. The tour kicked off in New York City at the legendary 92nd Street Y with author and Afrominimalist Christine Platt, followed by a sold-out Washington, DC stop at the Planet Word Museum with NPR’s Ayesha Rascoe. Forthcoming conversation partners include Chef Gregory Gourdet(Portland, OR), W. Kamau Bell (Berkeley, CA), Joy Bryant (Los Angeles, CA), Tracey Michae’l Lewis-Giggetts (Philadelphia), and Victoria Christopher Murray (Atlanta, GA).
“We’ll explore lessons we’ve learned — and unlearned — and the ones we are still learning … about longing, love and loss,” says Alexander. “We’re going to talk about how getting vulnerable and getting real is the connective tissue that binds us together, gives us strength, defines our purpose and feeds our soul.”
