Four young students, in a repressive college environment, decide to vary their very governed lives. After school, one breaks out a copy of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, and they all take turns reading the play aloud. The Bard’s words and the story itself are thrilling to the boys, and they become swept away, enmeshed in the emotion so much so that they break school rules in order to continue their readings. The rigidity of their lives begins to parallel the lives of the characters in the play: roles in the family, roles in society, and the roles played by men and women soon seem to make sense.

Presented by Black Pride YYC in collaboration with @vogueyyc. This vibrant, community centered celebration invites you to step into a night of culture, creativity, and connection as we honor Black History Month through fashion, movement, and self-expression.🎭💃🏿
Rooted in Black queer joy and African diaspora heritage, this event creates space for everyone to celebrate their lineage, their identity, and their artistry. All communities are welcome 🤗
Come dressed in ancestral, cultural, or heritage inspired attire that reflects your own roots, whatever culture, lineage, or tradition resonates with you. This is not limited to African or Black attire. The goal is to celebrate ancestry, identity, and self expression in all its forms.
Whether you walk, perform, or come to witness the artistry, this night is about honoring where we come from while celebrating how we show up together🫶🏾✨

Our book this month is "Awakenings" by Claudie Arseneault - a cozy fantasy novella in a queernormative, Dungeons-and-Dragons-inspired world. At this meeting we will talk about the book in its entirety. (If you don’t read the book, you’re still welcome to join and participate in the conversation - just be aware that you might hear some spoilers.)
Please RSVP through our website: https://www.abacesandaros.ca/event-details-registration/book-club-17
We will email you the online meeting link an hour before Book Club starts, so that it's at the top of your inbox.
Everyone is welcome to join us, whether you’re a-spec yourself, or interested in reading books with a-spec characters/themes. This is a "no obligations Book Club" and you are always welcome whether you read the book or not (just be aware there may be some spoilers). We usually hold meetings every 4-6 weeks, depending on the book chosen and its availability at libraries across Alberta. Feel free to bring suggestions for what we should read next!
Let us know if you have any questions (email: ABAcesandAros@gmail.com).
