Family legacy, modern life lessons merge in Pittsburgh writer’s debut ‘Power in the Tongue’

by The 100 Companies

Caitlyn Hunter, the inaugural Emerging Black Writer in Residence at Chatham University and a PhD candidate in English Literature at Duquesne University is launching her debut book, “Power in the Tongue,” on June 22 from 7-8:30 p.m. at Bloomfield’s White Whale Bookstore.

Hunter’s hybrid memoir follows the migration of her family from a plantation in Virginia to Pittsburgh. Weaving in stories of her own experience of being a Black woman in America, she merges tales of family and her ancestors with contemporary life lessons of struggle, survival and the search for self-confidence and belonging.

Don’t miss this exciting launch!
