Join us at The Nonbinarian Bookstore for an after hours book event with queer musician Be Steadwell as they share slow jams and read erotic excerpts from their debut novel Chocolate Chip City. Be Steadwell’s Chocolate Chip City is a beach read romance + ntozake shange's sassafrass cypress indigo + morisson's beloved + your favorite trashy lesbian erotica. Be Steadwell's Chocolate Chip City tells the story of the Jones sisters: three enchanted Black women searching for purpose as adults in modern day DC. Tensions rise as a crush develops between Jasmine Jones- a leftist baker and Zora Scott- the daughter of DC's richest Black developer. Chocolate Chip city explores themes of identity, class, love, and change in the context of gentrification. Please RSVP so we can get an accurate headcount & order enough books! Bring your lesbian situationship for an after hours book event & night of Black sapphic magic. Reminders: The Nonbinarian Bookstore is a sober space & masks are required.
