The Parlor: an after-work decompression space

Welcome to The Parlor, an after-work decompression space at Two Best Friends Café & Books.
This Parlor will spotlight Dr. Ursula Thomas, editor of Navigating Black Joy for Black Women Leaders in Higher Education. Dr. Thomas will share what inspired the work, introduce us to the ideas behind it, and leave us with something to consider or discuss as we continue unwinding for the evening.
Your $5 RSVP includes one coffee/tea beverage or glass of wine.
Light bites and snacks also available.
Copies of Navigating Black Joy for Black Women Leaders in Higher Education will also be available to interested guests at a special Parlor discount.
