Thank you for joining us at READ Between the Wines with New York Times Bestselling Author Sadeqa Johnson!

Storytelling has always been deeply personal to me, especially when it comes to honoring voices that history too often overlooked. That’s why supporting READ RVA felt so meaningful. Their work empowers adults through literacy, opening doors to confidence, opportunity, and the ability to tell one’s own story.
