Meant to post this earlier and may update with a Monday event but if you are in San Francisco this looks like an event worth attending:

Ayize Jama-Everett (The Liminal People series) is part of a celebration this afternoon at the San Francisco Public Library (100 Larkin Street):

Divine Forces: Exploring the Power of the Orishas
“A transformative in-person event blending the power of Yoruba spirituality with cultural exploration and collective healing. Featuring Hugo and Nebula Award winning author Tomi Adeyemi and panels with renowned writers and scholars like Sakena Young-Scaggs, Ayize Jama-Everett, Kemi Ashing-Giwa and Clarence A. Haynes.”

3:30-4:15 PM “Black Diasporic Religions” Sakena Young-Scaggs in conversation with Ayize Jama-Everett , moderated by Dr. Stanford Carpenter.
“How the worship and understandings of Black Diasporic Religions have evolved across the African diaspora, focusing on cultural continuity, folk ways, popular understandings, media representation and transformation.”
