About The Event

Watch the Livestream 

Warrior Princess. That’s what Nigeria Jones’s father  calls her. He has raised her as part of the Movement, a Black separatist  group based in Philadelphia. Nigeria is homeschooled and vegan and  participates in traditional rituals to connect her and other kids from  the group to their ancestors. But when her mother—the perfect matriarch  of their Movement—disappears, Nigeria’s world is upended. She finds  herself taking care of her baby brother and stepping into a role she  doesn’t want.

About the Author:

Ibi Zoboi holds an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts. Her novel American Street was a National Book Award finalist and a New York Times Notable Book. She is also the author of Pride and My Life as an Ice Cream Sandwich, a New York Times bestseller. She is the editor of the anthology Black Enough. Born in Haiti and raised in New York City, she now lives in New Jersey with her husband and their three children.
