Description:

Dayo practices Hoodoo with her family. One Saturday, she wakes from an interesting dream about a yellow bird. What could it mean? She knows that it’s up to her to figure it out. Over the course of the day, as Dayo and her family move through their daily rituals (mantras and affirmations included), the message sent from her ancestors through her dream reveals itself. This celebration of spirituality (and heritage) highlights the rich history of Hoodoo and the beauty we can find in everyday magic.

Kenda Bell-Spruill is joining us on the Busboys stage to share more about this empowering ode to the Hoodoo tradition. Copies of the book will be available for purchase during and after the event, and Kenda will be signing following the program.

This event is free and open to all. Our program begins at 6:00 pm, and will be followed by an audience Q&A. Copies of SATURDAY MAGIC will be available for purchase before and after the event. Please note that this event is in person and will not be livestreamed.


We ask that guests RSVP in order to receive direct updates about the event from Busboys and Poets Books
