SUMMARY:Good Girlfriends Book Club: Binti by Nnedi Okorafor
DESCRIPTION:Join the Good Girlfriends Book Club on Friday\, November 20th at 6 PM for an evening of good company\, great conversation\, and a celebration of books! \nWe’ll be diving into Ashley’s book pick\, Binti by Nnedi Okorafor. Come ready to share your thoughts\, connect with fellow book lovers\, and enjoy the conversation. \nWe’d love to have you join us! 📚🧡 \nFriday\, November 20th | 6PM \n📚 Binti by Nnedi Okorafor \n💃🏾 Good Girlfriends \n💬 Read. Discuss. Connect. \nAbout the book: Nnedi Okorafor’s Binti is the winner of the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award for Best Novella! \nHer name is Binti\, and she is the first of the Himba people ever to be offered a place at Oomza University\, the finest institution of higher learning in the galaxy. But to accept the offer will mean giving up her place in her family to travel between the stars among strangers who do not share her ways or respect her customs. \nKnowledge comes at a cost\, one that Binti is willing to pay\, but her journey will not be easy. The world she seeks to enter has long warred with the Meduse\, an alien race that has become the stuff of nightmares. Oomza University has wronged the Meduse\, and Binti’s stellar travel will bring her within their deadly reach. \nIf Binti hopes to survive the legacy of a war not of her making\, she will need both the gifts of her people and the wisdom enshrined within the University\, itself — but first she has to make it there\, alive.

SUMMARY:The 1619 Project: Community Conversations: PROGRESS
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, November 14 at 5:00PM Eastern for our 17th installment of The 1619 Project: Community Conversations. \nThere are many grievances regarding the actions taken by the current administration—too many to list individually. Many of you view our bookstore as a safe space to express your concerns and fears. In response\, we have been active listeners and have provided support in various forms. \nTo help galvanize our voices\, we’ve launched Community Conversations\, a monthly gathering to discuss the impact of current events. Using The 1619 Project as our guide\, we will focus on the themes of each chapter to deepen our understanding of what is happening and how we can better equip ourselves during this challenging time. Where possible\, we will have subject matter experts to lead the discussions\, but we will also rely on each other’s insights. \nThis month\, we will focus on two chapters: Traffic and Progress\, with the conversations being led by co-owners\, Karin Smith and Derek Tompkins. Please review the chapters in preparation for the discussion. \nWe hope you will join us\, be open-minded\, and contribute your knowledge for the greater good of our communities.

SUMMARY:Grandmaster Flash: "Birth of a Culture"
DESCRIPTION:EXPERIENCE ONE OF HIP HOP’S ORIGINAL PIONEERS & INNOVATORS with WPKN: GRANDMASTER FLASH \nPresented by Gees Records & Mega Bass Productions in association with Village Intiative Project (VIP) and\, yes\, WPKN 89.5FM Community Radio\, streaming at wpkn.org & apps \nGrandmaster Flash: “Birth of a Culture” Book Signing & Discussion moderated by DJ Terrible Tee\, event hosted by Billy Bush \nSaturday\, November 14th\, 12-3PM\, 1000 Lafayette Blvd\, 6th Floor\, Bridgeport\, CT \nBorn and raised in the South Bronx\, Grandmaster Flash is inarguably one of Hip Hop’s original innovators. \nAs ticket buyer David exclaims\, “This is a great event for such a seminal and historic figure in rap music. Thank you for hosting it.” \nIn the early 1970s\, Grandmaster Flash was the first DJ to use the turntable as a musical instrument by placing his fingers on the vinyl and perfecting beat looping. It’s no surprise that The New York Times calls him Hip Hop’s first virtuoso. \nHis determination to manipulate music led to innovations that changed the trajectory of Hip Hop music and culture: the Quik Mix Theory and the wafer – or what is now commercially known as the slipmat. \nToday\, he’s the voice of an entire generation of 1970s Hip Hop pioneers and reminds us of that decades influence through his tours\, weekly livestreams\, lectures and other projects. Grandmaster Flash is at once a historian\, a storyteller\, and a cultural force. \nGrandmaster Flash’s groundbreaking contributions to hip-hop have earned some of music’s highest honors\, including the Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award (2021)\, Sweden’s prestigious Polar Music Prize (2019)\, induction into the Grammy Hall of Fame (2012)\, and recognition by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (2007). In 2014\, he also performed at the GRAMMY Nominee Special alongside Common\, LL Cool J\, Lupe Fiasco\, and Rick Ross.

SUMMARY:ART•SENAL OF DEMOCRACY
DESCRIPTION:SAVE THE DATES! \nART•SENAL OF DEMOCRACY: Reflections of the Times \nArt as resistance. Creativity as a weapon. Expression as a call to action. \nSAVE THE DATES! Join us during the Bridgeport Art Trail for a provocative exhibition that bridges Bridgeport’s powerful history with the urgency of our present. \nDuring the World Wars\, Bridgeport earned its nickname\, “The Arsenal of Democracy\,” manufacturing the tools and machinery that helped shape history. \nToday\, a new battle of ideas is unfolding\, and artists are answering the call. This time\, our arsenal is filled with words\, images\, beats\, bodies\, and stories. \nAs the legendary Nina Simone once said\, “An artist’s duty\, as far as I’m concerned\, is to reflect the times.” \nART•SENAL OF DEMOCRACY brings together artists whose work confronts\, questions\, challenges\, and gives voice to the world around us. \nThis exhibition is more than a reflection of our times. It’s a REACTION. \nCome experience art that sparks dialogue\, challenges perspectives\, and reminds us of the power of creative expression. \nBridgeport\, CT | Bridgeport Art Trail \nSave the dates! More details to come.
