Join us March 16 for a discussion with award-winning author, Shonda Buchanan, author of Black Indian.

Join us March 16 for a book discussion you won’t want to miss. Award-winning author, Shonda Buchanan, will be discussing her memoir, Black Indian, which has been described as The Joy Luck Club and The Color Purple meets Leslie Marmon Silko’s Ceremony. Unlike these other great works, Black Indian is an inspiring work of non-fiction that explores her family’s legacy of being African Americans with American Indian roots and how they dealt with not only society’s ostracization but also the consequences of this dual inheritance.

Pushcart Prize nominee, Oxfam Ambassador, USC Los Angeles Institute for the Humanities Fellow and City of Los Angeles (COLA) Department of Cultural Affairs Master Artist Fellow, Shonda is the author of five books, including Black Indian. Shonda is also the newest fiction faculty member in Alma College’s MFA Program. Descendant of African nations, Coharie, Choctaw and Eastern Band Cherokee and Europeans, Shonda lives and writes in Los Angeles on Tongva and Chumash lands.
