::PAPERBACK TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT::
It’s HBCU Homecoming season across the land. What better time of year to announce this news?
Hello, loves:
I’m thrilled to announce that the Moonrise Over New Jessup Paperback Tour will be an:
📣ALL-HBCU TOUR📣
Moonrise Over New Jessup is a novel about love, freedom, resistance, and home within the Black community. This book is a love letter to Blackness in myriad forms, and it celebrates the spaces that we have historically built for one another to thrive.
Because HBCU graduates feature prominently in the book, and because we built and maintain these institutions to be spaces of excellence in higher learning, the Moonrise Over New Jessup Paperback Tour will visit these historic and sacred spaces. HBCU graduates feature prominently in my book because I grew up in a family of HBCU alumni; indeed, as a proud graduate of the Howard University School of Law myself, I am immensely grateful for the experiences that shaped our lives. It is the honor of my lifetime that so many schools have opened their doors to visit about the book.
Dates will be announced soon🙏🏽. Don’t see your school on the list? Holler at me. I could be persuaded to add a couple more.
xo,
Jamila
