These meetups are designed for writers who identify as Black within the diaspora. Established in 2022, the Nashville Black Storytellers works on building a learning community specific to the needs of Black writers and authors in and around Nashville. Prior NBS meetup participation is not required to attend this gathering!
Upcoming NBS Meetups from 3-4:30 PM at the Porch House:
These affinity group meetups are free to attend, but we compensate our facilitators to ensure a high-quality experience and a safe, welcoming space. If you’re able, please consider making a donation of $10–$30 at this link to help us sustain these valuable programs at The Porch. Starting in July 2026, the Porch will start to charge a $5 fee for non-members (and free for members) to help sustain this program, continue compensating instructors, and keep offering low-cost, high-quality programming.
