Be what you wanna be! Superhero? Astronaut? MLK? Rapper? It's up to you! I'll take younger siblings if you want to bring your little sister. She'll get paid $250 too!

Join us on the last Thursday in June for the long awaited revival of the STORY TABLE. We start at 6pm. There's a restaurant across the street from Common Objects in Belltown if you haven't had dinner. And there's even parking across the street! Unheard of downtown! We've made it easy. We're just waiting for YOU!

Curated by local celebrity, Amber Flame, Sistah SciFi Books has put together an amazing event featuring four local authors discussing the future,, the past, and where Black fantasy fits into the literary canon.

Lots of events planned but I'm reading from my novel, KEEP A'LIVIN' starting at 2pm, followed by a Q&A. Set during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, this book is more timely now than ever!

On Saturday February 28th, 2026 @ 7:00PM - 8:00 PM. The African-American Writers' Alliance return to the store for their 34th annual Black History Month reading. The evening will include readings from Kathya Alexander and others. RSVP HERE


Thanks to a grant from Hope Corps thru the City of Seattle, I am in collaboration with the African American Writers Alliance, Seattle's oldest Black writers group, and Common Area Maintenance for readings and discussions on the theme Civil Rights Matter. Join us every Thursday in June.

Kathya Alexander’s debut historical fiction novel-in-verse follows the fiercely passionate, dedicated, and cheeky Mandy as she comes of age during the height of the Civil Rights Movement of the 20th century.

Grappling with grief, ancestral trauma, and a family, community, and society in flux, 12 year old Mandy dares to dream of a future outside the limitations of racism and patriarchy.
