A Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration Society program
The Tulsa Community College’s college newspaper, TCC Connection (www.tccconnection.com), the Society of Professional Journalists Student Chapter, and the National Association of Black Journalists – Tulsa Chapter welcome noted author Nadia Salomon to the campus for a free lecture and autograph signing of her latest award-winning children’s book, “A Voice of Hope: The Myrlie Evers Story,” on Jan. 18 from 10:30 p.m. – 12 p.m. at the Center for Creativity at the Metro Campus, 910 S. Boston Ave. The event is an official program of the Rev. Martin Luther King Commemoration Society.
Salomon (www.nadiasalomon.com) is a recipient of numerous awards for other books, including “Goodnight Ganesha” and “A Rakhi for Rakesh.” As a former journalist, she will join other local journalists to discuss the steps of publishing a book. She and the other authors will have their books available for purchase and personal signings.
She writes on themes of South Asian and Caribbean culture, STEM, nonfiction, and humor. Salomon is an award-winning journalist and holds a journalism degree from Emerson College. When not participating in her own goodnight rituals or spinning silly yarns, you will find her working closely with SCBWI, 12×12 Challenge, Kids Comics Unite, and Storyteller Academy.
