Award-winning audiobook narrator Tyla Collier reads excerpts from Ayana Gray's novel I, Medusa live in the downstairs wine bar. Tickets are $15 with a glass of wine included, and Gladys Family members get in free.
A bookstore and wine lounge where Black queer and feminist literature shares the counter with natural wine, both chosen with serious care. Author events, film theory workshops, and community salons fill the calendar most evenings, making it the kind of place people come to linger rather than browse.
