On Tuesday, October 13, Dr. Kayla Hardy Kayla Hardy joins us at Baldwin & Co. Baldwin and Company for a conversation about The Quarter Queen, her debut novel set in 1843 New Orleans and inspired by the life of Marie Laveau.

CLICK LINK IN BIO TO RSVP!!

Marie Laveau was feared, mythologized, and written off as a threat because she held real power in a city built to deny it to women like her. Kayla is a scholar of Black folklore, mythology, and Voodoo, and she’s of Louisiana Creole descent. She is the right person to explain why Black women’s power has always been called dangerous, and why that story still matters now.

This is New Orleans history, told a few blocks from where it happened. Come ready to listen, ask questions, and leave seeing this city differently.

📍 Baldwin & Co. · 1030 Elysian Fields Ave
🗓 Tuesday, Oct 13 · 6:00 PM

What really happened after Colin Kaepernick took a knee—and how much did the NFL, the media, and even other players work to contain the fallout? In this explosive conversation, Ryan Clark, Colin Kaepernick, and Eric Reid pull back the curtain on the fear, money, pressure, blackballing, media manipulation, and internal resistance surrounding one of the most controversial protests in sports history. Kaepernick and Reid reveal how many players privately wanted to support the movement but were unwilling to risk their careers, while openly discussing the enormous personal and financial price they paid for refusing to stay silent.

October 1st is about to be crazy! Tomi Adeyemi at Baldwin & Co. in conversation with creative genius BMike . This is your chance to hear from her directly, in her own words, not through headlines, clips, or comment sections.

This summer, Tomi made headlines when she stepped away from the film adaptation of Children of Blood and Bone, the book that made her one of the most important voices in modern fantasy. She said she won't promote the movie. Instead, she asked readers to do something simple: support the books, and buy them from independent bookstores.

You've Read the Takes. Now Hear From the Author.

Her Legacy of Orïsha series drew on West African mythology to build an epic on a scale publishing had rarely given Black characters. A generation of readers, especially young Black women, finally saw themselves at the center of the story.

Voices like hers change what literature believes is possible. Having her in our room, in New Orleans, is a moment we don't take lightly, and we hope you won't either.

Seats are limited. Get your tickets now! Click Link in Bio For Tickets!

Some people come for the coffee. Some come for the books. Some come because they need a place to think, create, work, or simply be.

Baldwin & Co. Baldwin and Company is where coffee fuels the mind, books expand it, and community brings it all together.

Veteran White House correspondent, April Ryan has lived the backlash firsthand -- the attacks, the headlines, the viral moments, and the relentless policing of Black women who dare to be visible and unapologetic.

Come hear the story behind the headlines and the conversation America still needs to have.

Where: Baldwin & Co. Bookstore
When: October 8th at 6:00 PM
Tickets: Click Link in Bio

In her new book, "Notes on a Blacklash", she pulls back the curtain on the politics of silencing Black women and the price that can come with refusing to be silenced.

This conversation goes far beyond Trump. It’s about race. Gender. Power. Visibility. And who America allows to speak without punishment.

April Ryan will be in conversation with Congressman Troy Carter and Cynthia Butler Robertson.
