Our Authors Study Club (OASC), in partnership with the African American Film Critics Association (AAFCA), and co-presenters Highways Performance Space and The Till Artists Collective, presents an intimate evening celebrating the enduring power of Black storytelling.

The program features acclaimed actress and author Denise Nicholas, honored as a Living Legend, alongside author and screenwriter Antwone Fisher in a moderated conversation with an AAFCA representative.

Centering Nicholas’s memoir Finding Home and Fisher’s seminal work Finding Fish, the evening explores storytelling as both testimony and transformation—bridging literature, film, and lived experience while affirming Black history as a living continuum.

Denise Nicholas’s career spans the Civil Rights Movement, groundbreaking performances on television, and award-winning literary achievement. Fisher’s deeply personal narratives of resilience and self-discovery have reshaped contemporary conversations around healing, identity, and authorship.

Together, their voices reflect the power of truth-telling and the responsibility of artists to preserve cultural memory while illuminating paths forward.

Join us for a distinguished gathering where history, artistry, and vision converge.
