Lit. for the Culture! 2019 – That’s right…we’re doing it again!

Posted byMAHism2025Posted inUncategorized

We had such a blast in February 2018 celebrating Black History month by way of children’s literature and local goods that Warren Publishing together with the EmbraceU series has decided to do it again!

Take a look at last year’s highlights by following the YouTube link: LFTC 2018 and get ready to gear up for this year’s celebration! There will be music, performances, local vendors and live readings!

This event is centered around African-American literature in the young community and we will pay tribute to a very special black author this year.

“Let her be born. Let her be born. And handled warmly.” ~Ntozake Shange

On Saturday, February 23, 2019 meet local authors, have them sign your books, browse and network with home-team community supporters / small business owners, and even garner information on how to initiate the publishing process yourself. This event is free to the public. We are here to foster community and true representation in a fun and open atmosphere.

If you are interested in becoming a vendor for this year’s event please complete and forward this form: to Litfortheculture1773@gmail.com. If you are interested in sponsoring portions of the event please contact Shimah Easter and/or Mindy Kuhn via the same email listed above.

See you there!!!

Oftentimes, I am asked the origin and/or meaning of my name.  Shimah is a derivative of the name Shammah; Hebrew-Arabic in origin, with a biblical reference to Jehovah Shammah meaning 'God is present'.  It is pronounced with the accent on the second syllable and the only one who shortens it on a consistent basis is my mother.  I think I've been looking for ways to ground myself since birth - love grounds me, as does the written word.  And so, here we are!  Please explore the menu on the homepage; here you will find the different areas in which I express myself through script.  Be it impromptu poetry, editing work, my ever-growing children's literature series, or the socially conscious (yet personally knotted) blog, it all siphons into creating and expression by way of the written word. I refer to myself as the Maternal Head of a beautiful little girl who lovingly just calls me mommy.  If you've gotten through this lengthy bio then I will assume you've got time today... so, please leave me a note - the literates are in need of inspiration and constructive feedback from time to time.  Take care of your soul and I'll see ya'll 'round the way.
