Plenty of events for the weekend! If you're a reader I highly recommend the library book sale on Saturday (which is a PACKED day).
Also, Giving Tuesday has passed but I still recommend HYPE Freedom Schools as an org to support because they've got a 20 year track record of great work. More below or click here to donate!

HYPE works with churches and schools to implement the Freedom Schools curriculum developed by the Children’s Defense Fund. They provide summer enrichment that helps children fall in love with reading, increases their self-esteem, and generates more positive attitudes toward learning. Donate today!
I'm donating to HYPE because the mornings I spent reading, singing, and chatting with these young people were the highlights of my summer. I'm putting my money toward continuing the Freedom Schools legacy of youth development in Houston. Let me know if you're able to support or have questions!
Our next "read" for the Houston Afrofuturism Book Club. Send me a message if you want to attend!
As always, check out MerlexPicks.com for the full calendar of events. And tell your friends to subscribe to my newsletter to get these in their inboxes too!
