Local Author Panel

Writing for the LGBTQ+ Community

We're closing out Pride Month with this exciting local author panel! Meet your favorites and discover new reads.

Local authors are the backbone of the writing community and those writing within and for the LGBTQ+ community are especially important. Join us for a conversation with Bren Bataclan, Anna Burke, Federico Erebia, Jane C. Esther, and Sarah Jean Horwitz as they discuss their books, their writing, and the impact they have on readers of all ages!

Meet New U.S. Citizen: Maryna!

Are you ready to apply to become a U.S. Citizen?

Join us to learn about the U.S. citizenship process and interview experience from a new U.S. Citizen, Maryna. Maryna moved to the United States alone from Belarus and applied for political asylum based on toxic poetry that criticized the government and the restrictions on practicing her native Belarusian language. She is a published author and poet, and received a Master’s degree in Conflict Resolution from Northeastern University. She is currently an AmeriCorps member at the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition (MIRA) and became a U.S. Citizen last year.
