A Conversation with Jesmyn Ward- CANCELLED

As of 10/8/22-

We learned over the weekend that Jesmyn Ward will be unable to appear on October 12 due to a family health emergency.  At this time we do not have a new date set, however, it will most likely be in Spring 2023.   


We apologize for any inconvenience and greatly appreciate your understanding as we work together to navigate this unexpected change. Please join us in sending healing thoughts to Jesmyn and her family.
