Join Reparations Club at CAAM to celebrate the release of *The Revelation of Dionne Daphne*, the first novel by Mara Brock Akil, creator of *Girlfriends*, *Being Mary Jane*, *Love Is*, and *Forever*. Set in 1990s New York City, the story tracks a beauty editor whose seemingly ideal world is upended by shocking news from an ex-partner, compelling her to face long-hidden childhood trauma. Join Akil for a discussion of this debut book exploring the depths of love, transformative secrets, and the journey toward self-discovery, moderated by Elaine Welteroth. Free RSVP is encouraged, but not required. Guests who purchase a signed copy of the book from Reparations Club receive priority entry and access to the signing line. Books will also be available for purchase on-site.
