Celebrate the release of FUNERAL FOR FLACA: A MIXTAPE MEMOIR IN ESSAYS by Emilly Prado.
After the completion of a year-long prose certificate program at the Independent Publishing Resource Center (with extensive curriculum dedicated to book design + production), Emilly has produced a novella-length collection of essays exploring identity and the body. Each of the 12 essays is titled with the name of a song to add context and give a nod to her love of music.
Immerse yourself in an intimate evening celebrating the release of the title with a stellar lineup of BIPOC readers, a deliciously nostalgic all-vinyl blues & soul set from DJ Tiara Michelle, free cake, and plenty of goodies for sale (plus some for free!) Rather than spend your dollars on a cover, spend them supporting some of your favorite artists.
LINEUP:
– Emilly Prado
– Benjamin Sankara
– Raveena Bhalara
– Nastashia Minto
– Katherine Morgan
Funeral for Flaca: a mixtape memoir in essays will be on sale at the event for $20. There are only 20 copies of the first edition left (run of 50), but Emilly will be printing a second edition (run of 100). Arrive early if you’d like to snag a first edition + listen to the essay collections’ mixtape! And arrive before 7 PM to enjoy the happy hour + hold down a good seat.
