Dedicated to featuring Black women writers since its start in 2006 by founder Amanda Johnston, Torch Literary Arts dedicates this Thursday night to eight of its writing fellows. All eight writers come from this year’s Torch retreat and hail from around the world: Jumi Bello, Jassmine Parks, .CHISARAOKWU., Otito Greg-Obi, Kenndall Wallace, Kennetha Bigham-Tsaim, Starr Davis, and Idza Luhumyo. Each will read from their current works-in-progress, which cover poetry, prose (fiction and non), and script. Snag a spot for free, or make a donation with RSVP to help Torch continue their mission. – James Scott
