Stories and Sweets: Storytelling Written, Spoken, Crafted — and Sweetened

Join us for Stories and Sweets, a vibrant celebration of storytelling in all its forms—written, spoken, and crafted—paired with delicious treats and community connection.

Hosted by author Lyrique Richards and baker Zharia Gallimore, the event features live readings, poetry, an author panel, DJ Tytus, and handcrafted goods from local vendors. Aspiring writers can connect with Lucky Book Publishing, meet the team behind multiple bestsellers, and get real advice on becoming a published author.

With engaging conversations, creative showcases, and exciting door prizes, this is more than just an event—it’s a movement where creativity meets community. Plus, a portion of all proceeds will support Mustakabali-Wetu, helping uplift street children, orphans, and wildlife conservation in Africa. Whether you're coming to shop, share, or simply soak in the atmosphere, Stories and Sweets promises an inspiring, joy-filled experience. Reserve your ticket today and join us in making a difference!
