📚✨ August Silent Read is almost here!

Join us on Sunday, August 23rd for another afternoon of slowing down, settling in, and getting lost in a good book at Silent Read at STEM & VINE.

This month, we’re excited to welcome featured author Bianca Kersellius, author of InDEBTed: Stories of Surviving Debt, Inequity and Obtaining Freedom. Bianca will be joining us, giving readers the opportunity to connect with her and come ready with the questions they’ve been wanting to ask. 💚

Want to read InDEBTed before the event? Click the link in our bio to purchase your copy now—there’s still plenty of time to order it and start reading before August 23rd!

But remember: Silent Read is ALWAYS bring-your-own-book friendly. 📖 You do not have to purchase or read the featured book to attend. Bring whatever you’re currently reading, grab a seat, and enjoy the experience with us.
