class="content__text" TUE 5/30 @ 7 PM ET **IN-PERSON**: Join us Tuesday 5/30 to celebrate the release of DANCES by Nicole Cuffy! Come hang out with us at our Petworth location with Nicole Cuffy and @ebonyladelle !! This event is free to attend, but RSVP on our website so we know you're coming!! At twenty-two years old, Cece Cordell reaches the pinnacle of her career as a ballet dancer when she’s promoted to principal at the New York City Ballet. She’s instantly catapulted into celebrity, heralded for her “inspirational” role as the first Black ballerina in the famed company’s history. Even as she celebrates the achievement of a lifelong dream, Cece remains haunted by the feeling that she doesn’t belong. As she waits for some feeling of rightness that doesn’t arrive, she begins to unravel the loose threads of her past—an absent father, a pragmatic mother who dismisses Cece’s ambitions, and a missing older brother who stoked her childhood love of ballet but disappeared to deal with his own demons. #LoyaltyBookstores #NicoleCuffy #EbonyLaDelle #Dances #DCBookEvent #AuthorEvent #BlackOwnedBookstore #AsianOwnedBookstore #DCPublicLibrary #OneWorldBooks
