Next Chapter Book Store and Giftshop opened up in Ben’s Boyz on September 18, 2021. The curator, Sherricka Carpenter Stanley decided to start hosting book signings and author readings through her partnership with Ben’s Boyz. She was supposed to be the first one to do an author read but she’s all about community so she let me and my dad be the first ones to ever speak and sign autographs at Next Chapter on November 13, 2021 🎙 🌄📚✍🏾.
He and I read from our books and shared the BTS stories of how they ALL came together!! We shared personal reflections and jokes too. And best of all, they fed us well and my dad didn’t embarrass me 🍴 🥘 😁.
The Mother/Son Author Duo of Salina & Landon Clark, along with Lakisha Tucker
are up next on December 11, 2021!! You don't want your young readers to miss THAT Saturday Morning with the Authors if you missed me and my Dads!!
Thank you to everyone that came out to support. But most of all, thank you Next Chapter, Bens Boyz, and Ms. Sherricka for giving me and my Dad a safe space to share our stories.
Oh yeah and we also found out that my book, The Rules of a Little Boss was a finalist in the Independent Author Network Book of the Year Contest while we were there too 🥳 🎉 🎊
