Young aspiring writers will have the unique opportunity to learn from and be inspired by Williams, as she shares her insights and guides them on their creative journeys. This master class promises to be a transformative experience for all participants, fostering the next generation of talented storytellers.

Culminating the celebrations is a spectacular performance by NAACP Image Award Nominee and renowned author, Alice Faye Duncan.
