Conversations: A Moderated Reading
A Dual Book Launch Celebration Featuring Natalya and NBS Malay

Hosted by: Heshima Moja

Free Event: Donations accepted at the door

Join us for an intimate and powerful evening as we celebrate two dynamic new voices in contemporary literature. Natalya and NBS Malay are taking the stage to debut their latest books—each offering bold truth, emotional depth, and storytelling that lingers long after the final page.

About the Books
The Good, The Bad and the Naughty by Natalya takes readers on a fearless journey through love, passion, and the unapologetic pursuit of pleasure. It is witty, raw, and refreshingly authentic.

Vulnerability Hangover by NBS Malay explores what happens when we peel back our defenses and stand fully in our truth. It is a brave and beautifully written testament to healing, honesty, and self-acceptance.

This one-of-a-kind literary experience will include live readings, a guided conversation with the authors, audience Q&A, and a meet-and-greet book signing session. Come ready to laugh, reflect, and engage with two writers who are redefining what it means to speak from the heart.

📚 The Movement Begins Now. Afro Cultural Arts & Humanities Inc. proudly launches
"Our Stories, Our Future: The Afro Renaissance Authors Fund" ...

A campaign created to empower independent authors of African and Indigenous descent to publish, launch, and distribute their work.

We believe every story matters. By funding authors, we preserve culture, inspire communities, and pass on legacies that will shape generations to come.

Our goal is to raise $250,000 in 12 months to help 25 independent authors bring their stories to life through editing, design, printing, marketing, and distribution support.

The campaign begins online today and will continue through the Our Stories, Our Future Literature Gala on January 17, 2026, at the Pan African Historical Museum in Springfield, MA, where we’ll celebrate our first milestone and share the impact of your support.
Join the movement. Support the mission. Be part of the story.
Because when we fund our stories, we shape our future.”
