PLEASE NOTE: Due to scheduling conflicts, our program with Uzo Aduba has been canceled.

Enjoy a unique evening with three-time Emmy-winning actress Uzo Aduba (Orange Is the New Black) as she talks about her powerful memoir, The Road is Good: How a Mother’s Strength Became a Daughter’s Purpose.

The Road Is Good is a timely memoir of Black immigrant identity, the story of an unforgettable matriarch, and a unique coming-of-age story. “With wit, insight, and heart, Aduba constructs a captivating self-portrait that doubles as an ode to her remarkable mother. In this powerful autobiography, even readers unfamiliar with Aduba’s acting work will be spellbound.” —Starred Review, Publishers Weekly
