Kimberly DaSilva, Jacqueline Francis, and Patricia Powell are queer, award-winning San Francisco Bay Area fiction writers. They explore themes of migration, ghosts, and family ties that resonate in the experiences of people of the Caribbean and its diaspora. In the spirit of the Jamaican expression, “talk and taste your tongue” (think before you speak), DaSilva, Francis, and Powell will read excerpts from their fiction and discuss their influences with the audience.
