I’ll like to extend thanks to author and poet Shaneen A. Harris for successfully bringing together several local authors for a meet-and-greet at Akron’s Maple Valley Library. It was a day of fiction, music, spoken-word poetry and artwork that went down smoothly due to the talented artists, hard-working vendors and wonderful attendees, who really did come to support the artists.
In an act of selflessness, instead of hawking her own work, Shaneen spent most of the afternoon promoting fellow authors. Speaking of those artist, they are: Shaneen, Johnny Osby Jr., Marcus Colvert, Linda Johnson Wilson and Pam Carthorn.
Mrs. Harris, your efforts are appreciated by me. Looking forward to the next show!
Also, big ups to our M.C., Pat Reese, whose introductions themselves were works of art.
An all-around successful gathering.
