TBA members joined a virtual discussion today with Tara Stringfellow, author of the third quarter book selection “Memphis.” Stringfellow talked about her writing process, why she addressed specific issues affecting the Black community and who she considers her literary heroes — those included novelists Toni Morrison and Alice Walker and poets Sonia Sanchez and Phyllis Wheatley. TBA President Tasha Blakney kicked off the discussion and Memphis attorney Will Perry facilitated the conversation. Though no sequel is planned for the book, Stringfellow shared that her next project will be a book of poetry due out in 2024.
