We will host a book discussion of "The Vanishing Half" by Britt Bennett.

"The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: their families, their communities, their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still, even separated by so many miles and just as many lies, the fates of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation, when their own daughters' storylines intersect" (GoodReads.com)?

Copies of "The Vanishing Half" will available at the Circulation Desk for SAC Students, Faculty, Staff, and Monks to borrow 4 weeks prior to the meeting date. 

We hope to see you there.

Join us for a discussion with Dr. Annabel Beerel on the topic of courage and leadership in times of radical uncertainty. As we navigate a world where the old normal is gone and the new normal has yet to emerge, this seminar offers an opportunity to explore how courageous leadership can guide us through these challenging times.

In this two-hour seminar, Dr. Beerel will explore the complexities of transition, examining what it truly means to lead with courage and how we can cultivate this vital trait in ourselves and others.

Pre-reading and reflection questions will be provided in advance to help you prepare for this thought-provoking discussion. The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Light hors d'oeuvres will be served.
