Masisi X The Islandia Journal

Presented by Masisi & The Islandia Journal   We're coming together to honor a Florida grown literary giant; Zora Neale Hurston! A trip to pay our respect to an ancestor whose life work was dedicated to expanding and understanding the perspectives of Black life here in Florida and throughout the diaspora. We celebrate all her contributions from Florida folktales to her writing on her travels throughout Ayiti/ Hispaniola.   We organized this collective field trip to give flowers (literally) and share our own literary works that resonate and connect us with our kin this beautiful, Black History Month.   On the trip we will be visiting her grave at Garden of Heavenly Rest Cemetery in Fort Pierce and NuNu’s Sweet Soul Food Restaurant before we return home.     Details:   Meet at Bakehouse Art Complex at 10 AM    Destination:  Garden of Heavenly Rest Cemetery- Avenue S & 17th Street Followed by a meal at Nunu’s Sweet Soul Food Restaurant   Transportation & $25 meal stipend will be provided for 10 Black Folks First come, First Serve    All are welcome to join
