Karyn Parsons
April 27 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Magic City Books is thrilled to welcome Karyn Parsons for a special Independent Bookstore Day event in the store on Saturday April 27. Karyn will be in the store discussing her novels for young readers and signing copies of her books.
Karyn is best known for her role as Will Smith’s cousin Hilary Banks on NBC’s 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, featuring narration from stars such as Alfre Woodard, Queen Latifah, and Chris Rock. The videos have been screened on HBO and Netflix, and enjoyed by schools and libraries across the country. She is the author of Flying Free: How Bessie Coleman’s Dreams Took Flight, How High the Moon, and Saving the Day.
This event is free and open to the public.
