Hosted during one of culture's most celebrated weekends as we gather for an intimate evening of fine dining, meaningful conversation, and celebration in honor of the debut of Ashley D. Varnado's deeply personal literary work, Out of the Yazoo Clay.

Out of the Yazoo Clay is more than a book. It is a story of resilience, transformation, identity, and purpose. What began as reflection became reckoning, healing, and ultimately a story now ready to meet the world.

Join us for an intimate and invitation-only soirée featuring exquisite dining, elevated conversation, and a curated celebration of legacy, resilience, and storytelling as commemorate this deeply personal milestone together.

Please note: This is an invitation-only event and invitations are non-transferable.
