Happy disability pride month! 🌈 💫

We're thrilled to highlight Jezz Chung, one of our speakers who is making waves with their unique approach on disability justice.

As a neuroqueer Korean American, Jezz brings a deeply personal and intersectional perspective to their work in community building and art-making. We chatted with them a bit on how to foster true inclusivity and about the power of disability & neurodivergence in reimagining a better future for all of us. Swipe for a few tips! ➡️

One month since Brando Starkey’s book THEIR ACCOMPLICES WORE ROBES hit shelves! The book is a a sweeping, urgent history of how the Supreme Court helped preserve a racial caste system in America.

“This book is a book written to inspire reflection, disagreement, and argument – the kinds of things that are sorely needed in our own complex times.” —Kenneth W. Mack

We’re proud to represent Brando Starkey on both the literary and speaking side. THEIR ACCOMPLICES WORE ROBES is also our July book club pick, so keep an eye out for the curiosity seed newsletter! Not signed up? Head to pandelectures.com/resources to join. 💛

Reading is resistance!📚🌈 Q***r books have always brought us joy (and tears!), but at a time where LGBTQ+ stories are being targeted and banned, picking up these books, talking about them, and celebrating them also feels vital. While PRIDE is over, lean into joy with these reads.

It’s summer reading season and what better time to start the healthy habit of reading just a little every day? Read 25 in 2025 is a nationwide celebration that encourages readers to set aside 25 minutes a day to read, with cozy gatherings at indie bookstores where folks read in silence, then come together to talk books. Reading may be a solo adventure, but it’s also a wonderful way to build community.

Want to take it a step further? Invite your favorite author to help wrap up your Read 25 series! You could host a series of silent reading sessions where everyone chooses a book by the same author, and then bring that author in at the end of the summer for a talk your community won’t forget.

Need ideas? We're happy to brainstorm with you!

We are SO excited to formally welcome writer, performer, multidisciplinary artist, and globally recognized public thinker, to the roster! Their work explores personal and collective change through the lens of race, gender, trauma, disability, and neurodivergence. Jezz also has a fabulous book called THIS WAY TO CHANGE: A Gentle Guide to Personal Transformation and Collective Liberation, which encourages cultural change through personal transformation with poems, prose, and interactive practices.

You can find Jezz on Substack , listen to their podcast Dreaming Different, or catch them IRL by booking an event with us!

🎓 While many graduates are enjoying a well-earned summer break, we wanted to take a moment to look back at some of the commencement and graduation events our speakers took part in. In a world that can often feel uncertain (even dystopian) these speakers chose to bring words of hope to those launching into the next stage of their lives.

Here are three highlights:

💡 At a time when graduates are entering an uncertain and rapidly evolving workforce, Siva Vaidhyanathan addressed the UC Santa Cruz Teaching & Learning Center Convocation with a powerful reminder: "We have to explicitly preserve spaces for human thought and deliberation" and resist sacrificing our values for the sake of efficiency. "Ultimately we have to keep emphasizing that technology is no good to us if it isn’t in the service of human flourishing.” Watch Here: https://tlc.ucsc.edu/about/events/convocation/

🌍 💫 Tony Keith Jr. delivered a poetic lecture, “On Discovering Your Purpose,” offering graduates an invitation to reflect deeply on the cultural forces that shape how we understand ourselves and to step fully into their unique purpose on this spinning planet in space.

📚 Hobart and William Smith Colleges centered their year-long Anderton Forum for Global Engagement around Wendy Pearlman’s new book, THE HOME I WORKED TO MAKE. The student commencement speaker, Anjalee Wanduragala, was so moved by the book and Wendy's words that she made its themes a focus of her speech. Wendy also joined the college president in a special Q&A earlier in the year.

John Jennings is booked and busy! As we approach Octavia E. Butler’s birthday on June 22, it’s the perfect time to spotlight the artists keeping her legacy alive. John Jennings, a Hugo Award–winning graphic novelist, professor, and leading voice in Afrofuturism, is doing just that through his graphic adaptations of PARABLE OF THE SOWER and, most recently, PARABLE OF THE TALENTS. We’d love to see even more events making space for visionary graphic artists like John whose storytelling is as thought-provoking as it is visually stunning.

Catch him this summer at Comicpalooza over Juneteenth weekend or at the Atlantic Comic Con in Norfolk, VA this August!

We had a packed month, and looking back at some of these pictures has brought us so much joy.

It is so easy to sink down into a bog of bad news, but this month we're celebrating the wins. Here's to bookish events and the people and authors that make them happen!

The Wrap:
⭐️ John Jennings gave a public lecture on afro-futurism at the University of Washington, and "was a huge success and an absolute delight to spend time with!" 🎉

⭐️ Kristen Arnett keynoted at the Maryland Library Association about Intellectual Freedom, the importance of libraries, and more, all with her signature humor 🤡

⭐️ Britt Hawthorne led a keynote and workshop at SoCal POCIS to help educators learn about bias and privilege, and engage in practical strategies for fostering equity and inclusion in their classrooms. 🙌

⭐️ Annabelle Tometich appeared for an author talk at the Corpus Christi Literary reading Series. 🥭

⭐️ Tony Keith Jr. visited his Alma Mater as part of his Spring Author Tour for the Prince George's County Public Schools. Each student received a book, and everyone said he had to come back! 💙 This month he also judged the 2025 Poetry Out Loud National Semifinals, and he is kicking off the summer as the DC Public Library's Discover Summer Author ambassador!

⭐️ And lastly, Andrea Freeman's book RUIN THEIR CROPS ON THE GROUND was nominated for The James Beard Media Award for Food Issues & Advocacy! 📚
