Upcoming Book Events For Yours Truly

Attention Chicago Public Schools teachers and administrators, those who work in other school districts, people who want to know what it’s like to teach in challenging environments all over the globe in today’s world and people who like to read about travel and searching for belonging: I’ll be doing two book events in Chicago at the start of 2027 in promoting my memoir, Where I Belong: A Black Teacher’s Quest to Find His Home.

Bookie’s Bookstore will host an event January 23rd with time to be determined. Pilsen Community Books will host another March 27th from 3-4 p.m. Bookie’s is located at 10324 S. Western Avenue and Pilsen Community’s address is 1531 W. 18th Street.

Details of the events — whether it will be a Q&A, a book reading, book signing or combination of all — will be posted on my website and socials as soon as I know. I do know that the moderator will be someone who knows me well, former colleague Romrie Cleaves Weekley. She has worked for CPS for more than a decade as a principal, assistant principal, teacher and currently as an instructional coach.

I’m very grateful for the opportunity from Bookie’s and Pilsen Community. Thank you both.

Hopefully, there’s more on the way.

I’d also like to thank Elliott Bay Book Company in Seattle for stocking my book. You’re all heart, too.
