“You can choose to look the other way, but you can never say again, that you didn’t know…”
– William Wilberforce
This quote opens the story of “YELLOW WIFE” by Richmond native and celebrated author, Sadeqa Johnson, our premier guest for the 2nd annual LITTLE BLACK DRESS DAY AFFAIR.
She takes the reader through an unimaginable struggle of a woman determined to survive while protecting her family and her sanity. The story captures the theme of perseverance, a word that women, around the world, know and live, only too well. You will see your courage through her.
The story takes place at Lumpkin’s Jail, also known as “the Devil’s half acre” located on what is now 15th st in Shockoe Bottom and very near Main Street Station.
Meet Sadeqa and hear her responses as she is interviewed by Rita Ricks. It’s been said that Rita’s interviews are, focused and discerning, even as the flow is organic. Her questions bring out the essence of her guests.
Meet Bill Martin, Director of The Valentine Museum, as he shares a portion of the history of Lumpkin’s Jail and the gift that ultimately came from the carnage. History merges with fiction.
Rita Ricks, Founder and CEO of ritaricks.com, invites the audience in with her wit and clear-sightedness as she coaches from the floor.
Ladies, Celebrate the fact that you persevere with Grace and Class, in spite of your circumstance.
Celebrate the fact that You are beautiful, dynamic, powerful, winning, making strides, growing, aging beautifully, managing, Being the boss and KNOW, in the depths of your heart, that you are enough.
You know the drill…begin looking for your dress now and don’t sweat the size.
