Join ZAMI NOBLA and Charis on Saturday, May 27, 2023, at 7:30 pm for a special event featuring esteemed writer Sharon Bridgforth in conversation with ZAMI NOBLA creative director Angela Denise Davis, as we celebrate bull-jean & dem/dey back.

Bull-jean & dem/dey back is a collection that unites two performance/novels centered on the southern-Black-butch-heroine, bull-jean. The Lambda Literary Award-winning bull-jean stories was first published by RedBone Press in 1998 and follows the journey of love rekindling throughout the lifetimes of bull-dog-jean. After a twenty-two-year hiatus, bull-dog-jean triumphantly returns in bull-jean/we wake. As the Narrator grieves the loss of their elders and seeks healing, they summon bull-jean for guidance. Be sure not to miss this inspiring event!
