In Black Ink

Thank you WEAVE for hosting the national book launch of 'ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD', the Katie Sample Memoir, featuring Kate Towle!!!

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Kate Towle, Dr. Lucresha Berry of Brownicity, Mary Ann McGrail, and the entire team who contributed to making this inaugural national book launch event for Black Inks a reality. Our deepest appreciation goes to each of you. WEAVE is defined as 'A nation of weavers. Weave: The Social Fabric Project addresses the issue of broken social trust that has resulted in American division, loneliness, and social stagnation. Through Weave, local leaders are connected, supported, and invested in to create a more inclusive social fabric in their communities. The project was founded by New York Times columnist and author David Brooks at the Aspen Institute.',
