One of our faves is coming to town! We are elated to welcome actor, author, and director, @karynparsons for a special meet & greet book signing hosted by MahoganyBooks at our National Harbor location.
Karyn Parsons is best known as the character “Hilary Banks” on the television show, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” Karyn also created Sweet Blackberry after being inspired by the true tale of a determined enslaved man and the remarkable lengths he traveled to find his freedom.
Her new book, Clouds Over California, is another one we’re thrilled about.
A moving and heartfelt novel about how a girl’s family and friendships are turned upside down—just as the world is changing in 1970s Los Angeles.
To top it all off, Stevie’s older cousin Naomi is coming to live with the family in an attempt to keep her from a “bad” crowd—The Black Panthers.
Stevie agrees to keep Naomi’s secrets. She’s the cool big cousin, after all, and Stevie can’t help but notice the happy, positive effect the Black Panthers are having on Naomi’s confidence and identity—just like how Mom is making decisions for herself, even when Dad disapproves.
Bring your kiddos and join us!

We’re so excited to welcome writer, director, and actress @karynparsons for an author chat with @keianamay for the launch of her new middle grade novel, Clouds Over California, on July 11th at 7PM!
Karyn Parsons is best known for her role as Will Smith’s cousin Hilary Banks on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. After leaving acting behind, Karyn has gone on to found and produce Sweet Blackberry, an award-winning series of children’s animated films, to share stories about unsung Black heroes in history. 👏
Clouds Over California is a moving and heartfelt novel about how Stevie’s family and friendships are turned upside down—just as the world is changing in 1970s Los Angeles.
The tension in her home is building as her parents’ arguments are becoming more frequent. To top it all off, Stevie’s older cousin Naomi is coming to live with the family in an attempt to keep her from a “bad” crowd—The Black Panthers.
Stevie feels herself beginning to change as well. But one thing remains the same: she loves both of her parents, and she loves them together. Can her family stay in one piece despite the world shifting around them?
Bring the kids and family out for a great night! Check our bio to reserve your spot.
