Deesha Philyaw with Dr. Jeannelle Perkins: The Secret Lives of Church Ladies
Sun, Nov 10 from 2pm - 3pm
Deesha Philyaw joins us to discuss her acclaimed story collection, The Secret Lives of Church Ladies. These nine stories explore the inner lives of Black women—often caught between their religious upbringing and their personal desires. The collection highlights perceived tensions between tradition and freedom, creating a powerful and nuanced exploration of Black womanhood and spirituality. Deesha Philyaw will be in conversation with Jeannelle Perkins, a psychotherapist and licensed family therapist.
