For Black History Month, I wanted to center this gathering around community, and what better way than a cookout. In Black life, cookouts have always been more than food; they’re where culture, music, stories, and presence live. This month we’re reading Sula by Toni Morrison, a novel about friendship and betrayal, individual freedom vs. social expectation, and the ways communities can both hold us and cast us out. Flow for the afternoon: • 3:00–4:00 PM — Cookout & Arrival Pull up, grab a plate, meet someone new, reconnect with familiar faces. • 4:00–4:30 PM — Transition + Open Conversation We start easing into the discussion space, letting the book and the day’s themes surface naturally. • 4:30–5:15 PM — Guided Group Discussion Facilitated conversation centered on Sula, with prompts and collective reflection. • 5:15 PM onwards — Back to cookout vibes at Reserved Hanging out at the location, mingling, continuing conversations, letting the afternoon unfold. Come for the food. Stay for the conversation. Leave with community. We document these gatherings in photo and video. Some of it becomes content. Some of it becomes print. By attending, you’re okay with appearing in that work. If you’d rather stay out of frame, just tell us at the door.
