We are delighted to host a special author event with Essence McDowell, co-author of Lifting As They Climbed – Mapping a History of Trailblazing Black Women with Mariame Kaba. From activists and artists to educators and community leaders, this book brings to life the stories of 78 extraordinary Black women who shaped history from the 19th century to today. Through inspiring narratives and beautifully crafted tours, readers can explore the places where these trailblazers made an impact, uncover hidden histories, and gain a deeper understanding of the vital role Black women have played in shaping communities. Lifting As They Climbed sheds light on often untold stories, making it an essential resource for those passionate about history, social justice, and the power of collective action.
