Join author, corporate operations leader, and certified life coach Michael M. Roberson for an intimate book talk, reading, and celebration honoring the release of his debut memoir, Being Gay, Black, and Christian: A Journey of Faith and Identity.Navigating from childhood church pews in Inkster, Michigan, to executive boardrooms in the nation’s capital, Michael shares a transparent, grounded roadmap for breaking silence, dismantling performance-based religion, and claiming space at the intersection of faith, Black queer identity, and professional authority.The afternoon features a live excerpt reading, an interactive dialogue and Q&A, and an author book signing. Come as you are—no edits required. Admission is free; early RSVP is strongly encouraged.Saturday, November 14, 2026, 1–3:30 PMBusboys and Poets — 14th & V2021 14th Street NW, Washington, DC 20009
