Celebrating Literary Foremothers

Celebrating Literary Foremothers

About

A fundraiser for Chapter 510

Host Dorothy Lazard—writer, librarian, and public historian— joins an extraordinary lineup of local women writers for an afternoon of readings to benefit Chapter 510, an Oakland-based nonprofit dedicated to connecting young people to the power of their stories and providing a space for youth to bravely write.

Celebrating Literary Foremothers is a fundraiser featuring Judy Juanita, Angela Dalton, Aya de Léon, and Jeneé Darden—powerful voices whose work reflects the legacy of women writers in our community. Learn more about these incredible authors and their impactful work below.

Guests at this free event will have the opportunity to learn about Chapter 510's free and low-cost writing and publishing programs for Black, brown, and queer Oakland youth, and to support this work with a donation. Thank you for joining us for this truly special gathering of writers!

Limited space is avaliable, so reserve your tickets today!
