The 36th annual Kentucky Women Writers Conference opened on Thursday, Sept. 11, 2014 at the Lyric Theatre, with The Sonia Sanchez Series featuring Asha Bandele, author of the best-selling memoir, The Prisoner’s Wife, a second memoir, Some Kind of Beautiful, a novel, Daughter, and several volumes of poetry.

Honoring the indelible spirit of the poet and her many visits to the neighborhoods of Lexington, the Sonia Sanchez Series brings a major thinker whose writing impacts Black culture and social justice issues. She participates in the Kentucky Woman Writers Conference and gives a keynote address, free and open to the community. Chaired by Patrice Muhammad.
