Buunni and RightHear invite you for an afternoon with InsideAbility Founder and author, Krystal B.
Buunni has partnered with RightHear to provide an accessible experience for visually impaired customers, using Bluetooth beacon technology to deliver real-time audio descriptions of the environment. This installation makes the cafe more inclusive by helping users navigate and locate points of interest.
Connect with your queer community on a deeper level. Join us for a cup of coffee, and a series of queries and responses, where everyone responds to prompts designed to get right to the point.
How it works: each person will have time to answer a unique query. The room will listen & hold space: responses, reactions and requests for more information will be held until all prompts are complete. At the end of the event we’ll socialize so that you can show people how you connected with their share. Direct & real. Cut out the superficial.
Who’s this for?: People who identify as part of the queer and trans community. Accessibility: There are no stairs to the entrance. Masks are not required. Does this cost $?: While you’re not required to pay anything, please consider buying a tasty treat and bev from our Buunni hosts!
Calling all musicians, artists, poets, movers and shakers! Bring your song, your dance, your poetry! Poets, musicians, storytellers, and all performers welcome. Hosted by La Sala Collective.

The New York Public Library continues partnering with WNYC to present a book club experience! Each month, we will read a new title leading up to a live conversation, in-person or online, with the author and All of It host Alison Stewart.
This book club will take place IN PERSON at the Fort Washington Library.
The March title is Megha Majumdar’s A Guardian and a Thief – an electrifying new novel in which two families seeking to protect their children must battle each other in a city ravaged by climate change and food scarcity.
In a near-future Kolkata beset by flooding and famine, Ma, her two-year-old daughter, and her elderly father are just days from leaving the collapsing city behind to join Ma’s husband in Ann Arbor, Michigan. After procuring long-awaited visas from the consulate, they pack their bags for the flight to America. But in the morning they awaken to discover that Ma’s purse, containing their treasured immigration documents, has been stolen.
Set over the course of one week, A Guardian and a Thief tells two stories: the story of Ma’s frantic search for the thief while keeping hunger at bay during a worsening food shortage; and the story of Boomba, the thief, whose desperation to care for his family drives him to commit a series of escalating crimes whose consequences he cannot fathom. With stunning control and command, Megha Majumdar paints a kaleidoscopic portrait of two families, each operating from a place of ferocious love and undefeated hope, each discovering how far they will go to secure their children’s future as they stave off encroaching catastrophe.
A masterful new work from one of the most exciting voices of her generation.
