LotusCMC Book Club

 
 

We realized we had a lot to learn about race, racism, sexism, and other injustices in the world - specifically in the realm of music.

We’ve started a book club to create a community around educating ourselves and each other so we can take informed action in our respective roles in the world.

To adjust to the new demands on people’s time in 2023, we will be hosting mini-series of virtual events. Join the mailing list to be notified about upcoming events.
