The Between the Lines summer seeks to create a platform where local Black authors and wordsmiths — from the up-and-coming to renowned — can explore the transformative power of language and storytelling, while encouraging the wider public to embrace the written word as a means of personal expression and social change. In their conversations, Jason and his friends will tap into everything from Hip Hop culture to storytelling.
