Meet us in the backyard at 7:30pm on Wednesday August 12th for a live reading from one featured writer, with a brief open mic to follow. This month, we are proud to present poet April Sojourner Truth Walker! April Sojourner Truth Walker, PMP is a Dallas native who studied at Emory University in Atlanta and Hollins University in Virginia. Before starting her writing coaching company – A Little More Truth, LLC – in April of 2020, she worked for seven years as a Senior Project Manager at AT&T. April is currently an Adjunct Professor at Dallas College and UNT Dallas. Previously she was an Adjunct Professor at Oklahoma City Community College, teaching a myriad of classes in the Humanities. A perfect day for April is one spent in nature with her camera, a cup of tea and nowhere to be. Her current manuscript, Fire Psalm, grapples with how the history of the black community in Dallas is covered up by the city’s constant need to revitalize its image. She is also working on a manuscript exploring the role of women in Christianity, Judaism and Islam and how these historically man-made roles manifest in women’s lives today. “Follow your inner moonlight, don’t hide the madness.” —Allen Ginsberg, from On Being a Writer Don’t miss out and sign up to our newsletter
