SUMMARY:Book Launch: We Came To Welcome You
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, September 4\, 7pm \n\n\n\nTaller Puertorriqueño | 2600 N. 5th St\, Philadelphia\, PA 19133\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for Event\n\n\n\n\nFREE EVENT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us on Wednesday\, September 4\, at 7pm for a Q&A and book signing with local author Vincent Tirado in conversation with Diana Rodriguez Wallach. Light refreshments will be provided. A spine-chilling psychological thriller about a multiracial lesbian couple who are thrilled to move into their dream home in a gated community–– until strange things start happening and the pressure to assimilate becomes life or death. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Other Black Girl meets Midsommar in this spine-chilling\, propulsive psychological thriller from highly acclaimed author Vincent Tirado\, about a multiracial lesbian couple who are thrilled to move into their dream home in a gated community–– until strange things start happening and the pressure to assimilate becomes life or death. \n\n\n\nAkin to the social horror of Jordan Peele and Lovecraft County\, We Came to Welcome You cleverly uses the uncanny to illuminate the cultish\, shocking nature of systemic racism. Sol Reyes has had a rough year. After a series of workplace incidents at her university lab culminates in a plagiarism accusation\, Sol is put on probation. Dutiful visits to her homophobic father aren’t helping her mental health\, and she finds her nightly glass of wine becoming more of an all-day—and all-bottle—event. Her wife\, Alice Song\, is far more optimistic. After all\, the two finally managed to buy a house in the beautiful\, gated community of Maneless Grove. But the neighbors are a little too friendly\, in Sol’s opinion. She has no interest in the pushy Homeowners Association\, their bizarrely detailed contract\, or their never-ending microaggressions. But Alice simply attributes their pursuit to the community motto: “Invest in a neighborly spirit\,” which only serves to irritate Sol more.   Suddenly\, a number of strange occurrences—doors and stairs disappearing\, roots growing inside the house\, a loud buzzing sound that only Sol can hear—cause Sol to wonder if her social paranoia is built on something more sinister. But Sol’s fears are dismissed as Alice embraces their new home and becomes increasingly worried about Sol’s drinking and manic behavior. When Sol finds a journal on the property from a resident that went missing a few years ago\, she realizes why they were able to buy the house so easily… Through Sol’s razor-sharp tongue and macabre sense of humor\, Tirado explores the very real pressures to assimilate with one’s surroundings to “survive\,” while also asking the question: Is it survival when you’re no longer your true self? Because in Maneless Grove\, either you become a good neighbor—or you die. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVincent Tirado is a nonbinary Afro-Latine Bronx native. They ventured out to Pennsylvania and Ohio to get their bachelor’s degree in biology and master’s degree in bioethics. Their debut YA novel Burn Down\, Rise Up was the 2022 winner of the Pura Belpré Award and was a finalist for the 2022 Stoker Awards and 2023 Lammy Awards. Their sophomore YA novel We Don’t Swim Here was called “a chilling ghost story” by Publishers Weekly. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Participants\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiana Rodriguez Wallach is a multi-published author of young adult novels. Her mostrecent\, Small Town Monsters\, is a YA Latinx horror novel that published in September 2021. Her next YA Latinx Horror\, Hatchet Girls\, comes out October 10\, 2023. Bustle listed Diana as one of the “Top Nine Latinx Authors to Read for Women’s History Month.” She is the author of the Anastasia Phoenix Series\, as well as YA contemporary Latina novels and a YA short-story collection. She lives in the Philadelphia area with her husband\, two children\, and two cats.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Luis A. Miranda\, Jr. and Dr. Carmen Febo San Miguel
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, September 30\, 7pm | Theater doors open at 6:30pm    \n\n\n\nTaller Puertorriqueño | 2600 N. 5th St\, Philadelphia\, PA 19133\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for Event\n\n\n\n\n$0 – $30\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJulia de Burgos Bookstore welcomes Luis A. Miranda Jr.\, Latino trailblazer and father of Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda\, to present his new memoir\, Relentless: My Story of the Latino Spirit That is Transforming America\, in conversation with Dr. Carmen Febo San Miguel as part of Taller Puertorriqueño’s 50th anniversary programming. The conversation will be followed by a book signing. Admission is included with purchase of book. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEssential reading from an expert voice: Luis A. Miranda Jr.’s personal and political memoir reveals a deep understanding of Latino culture and how to build community to change our world for the better. \n\n\n\nA veteran of New York and national politics\, Luis Miranda embodies the relentless spirit of progress of American immigrants. \n\n\n\nThere is no one on the Latino\, New York\, and national political scene with the breadth of experience\, passion\, and storytelling charm of Luis Miranda. In  \n\n\n\nRelentless\, he shares a fascinating narrative of his life and career—from his early days as a radically minded Puerto Rican activist to his decades of political advice and problem-solving. \n\n\n\nMiranda recounts the thrill of the ascendency of  Hamilton\, created by his son Lin-Manuel\, and he details the suffering after the devastation of Puerto Rico by Hurricane Maria. Amid the triumphs and challenges\, Miranda examines what his experience reveals about our ever-changing politics\, demographics\, and society. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLuis A. Miranda Jr. arrived in New York City from Puerto Rico in 1974 to study psychology at NYU but soon found himself drawn to community action when he organized his neighbors to fight for better schools for their children. In the 1980s he was a special advisor for Hispanic Affairs to Mayor Ed Koch\, and he continued to serve in key roles for the Dinkins and Giuliani administrations. As a founding partner of the MirRam Group\, Miranda has consulted on several successful political campaigns\, including the senatorial campaigns of Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton\, Senator Chuck Schumer\, and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. Most recently he managed New York Attorney General Letitia James’ successful reelection. Miranda is the founding president of the Hispanic Federation and is currently the chairperson of the Latino Victory Fund\, the Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance\, Viva Broadway\, and the Public Theater. He is a board member of The City\, and former chair of the Center for Latin American\, Caribbean\, and Latino Studies at the CUNY Graduate Center. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Participants\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBorn in Ciales\, Puerto Rico\, Carmen Febo San Miguel graduated as a physician in 1973. She came to Philadelphia to complete her residency\, specializing in Family Medicine\, which she completed in 1976. For four decades she worked as a Family Medicine Specialist providing comprehensive medical care\, and as Medical Director\, in settings that included Germantown Family Medicine Associates and the Naranjito Health Center in Puerto Rico\, (1980 to 1984)\, until she retired from medicine in 2014. This town in the central mountains of Puerto Rico declared her "Hija Adoptiva” (Adoptive Daughter). \n\n\n\n Carmen is mainly recognized for her work with Taller Puertorriqueño\, as its Executive Director since 1999\, while still serving part-time as a physician until retiring from medicine in 2014. Under her leadership\, Taller continued to grow and\, in 2016\, the organization completed and moved into the stunning $11.5 million cultural center in the heart of Philadelphia’s Latino community. In 2019 she was recognized as a Distinguished Daughter of Pennsylvania and in 2023 she received the Historical Society of Pennsylvania’s Heritage Award for her significant contributions to the heritage future of the Philadelphia region. She currently serves as a member of the Women’s Non-Profit Leadership Initiative\,as a city of Philadelphia Art Commissioner and in Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts Exhibitions Committee.
