The discussion will be led by Dr. Dill alongside poet and fiction writer Lisa Bond-Brewer, who will engage in dialogue regarding the inspiring topics, themes, and the fifteen-year journey behind the community-engaged research within urban neighborhoods such as Oakland, Atlanta, and Brooklyn.

📖 To celebrate Juneteenth, Dr. Dill will read selected persona poems from Soul Survivors. An audience Q&A will follow the discussion. Attendees will also have the chance to purchase Soul Survivors and get it signed by Dr. LeConté Dill at the meet and greet!
