The Silver Cherry is celebrating our writers! As we grow and expand, we sign on more wonderful authors. TSC’s goals are to uplift and give visibility to Black woman poets while fortifying and remembering marginalized stories from the past.

Let’s welcome on our new writers (😎) at a special event at Nabala Cafe. Gather to listen to this amazing lineup including Tiara B. Gold, Ingabire, Imani Marie Joseph, and Imani Warren. Read more about them below. Mark your calendars & hope to see you soon❤️
