Tuesday, February 12th. 6:30pm-7:30pm. Online Workshop: The Hate U Give.
This workshop would focus on “The Hate U Give” and the changes that it’s helping to spark in regards to teens and young adults becoming involved in their communities and speaking out for causes that they believe in. I also hope to highlight read-a-likes and other authors of color that might appeal to readers.
Register for the online workshop here.
