What is the cHURCH? | Facebook Event | Livestream

Join us at the cHURCH as Stacie Evans discusses her writing and her current project, Adventures in Racism. This is a free event. Bagels and coffee will be served.

Stacie Evans lives in Brooklyn, in a real “neighborhood neighborhood” where people ring the bell to borrow sugar or eggs and then leave fresh-baked cookies or a bottle of fancy olive oil or wine as a thank you. She is a four-time alum of VONA Voices, the only multi-genre workshop for writers of color, a frequent reader at Big Words, Etc., and just participated in the New York City Poetry Festival, overcoming her abject terror of calling herself a poet in public. Stacie writes essays, stories, angry rants … and poems. She also writes and draws Adventures in Racism, a comic. Adventures started small – a 4-page vent about a conversation too many people of color have far too often (“Oh, you speak so well!”) – and is evolving into a larger work.
