Tulisoma—a Swahili word that means “we read”—is a community-based festival promoting literacy and the arts in the South Dallas/Fair Park area. With numerous authors and illustrators participating, the family-fun event features author presentations and readings, writing workshops, book signings, panel discussions, children’s story time, kids activities and more throughout the day. Workshops will focus on how to get published, book bans and Black literary history.
