June 27 | MahoganyBooks Summer Salon Series w/Nina Beam
MahoganyBooks is delighted to simply gather, exchange ideas, create sacred moments and just chat, thus our Summer Salon Series was born. We are thrilled to have our friend, artist, author and dope sis, Nina Beam as the host.
Please join us the fourth Tuesday of the month until August. It's the perfect evening to come solo, bring a friend (or boo), and be in community celebrating all things Black. See you at the Salon!
6:30 pm Doors Open | 7:00 pm Conversation Begins.
Masks optional throughout event.
