Trinity is described as the riveting story of the daughter-spirit born to stitch love back into the scattered wombs of her Black mothers and call love back into the fishing blues songs of her Black male kin. The book has received wonderful reviews from Goodreads, Kirkus Reviews, Ebony, Woman's World, Publisher's Weekly, Ms. Magazine, The Root, Harlem World Magazine, Atlanta Journal-Constitution and IndyWeek, to name a few.
I am a Fulbright Specialist and happy to say that on September 1st, I travel to Zambia to bring my expressive writing love that is in The Soul of the Full-Length Manuscript to university students, professors, women's organizations and the general public in Lusaka, Zambia. I believe that our stories connect us across boundaries of social division and help us heal from familial and social wounds. This trip to Zambia is one of pollinating stories from here to there and there to here.
In today’s polarized political climate, it’s easy to avoid or shy away from conversations with people whose views don’t align with our own. Yet, these difficult conversations are more important than ever. At Authors Unbound, we believe that the power of storytelling can help us engage with perspectives that challenge our assumptions, foster empathy, and create meaningful dialogue. Here's what Dr. Lockhart has to offer for our healing stories and connections.
