Katerina passportAccents founder and Senior Editor Katerina Stoykova-Klemer will be hosting a reading and celebration tonight at the Lexington Public Library’s Farish Theater!

September 22nd is the 20th anniversary of the day I stepped on American land. A lot has changed since then – countries, homes, people, cities.

I would love for you to join me on that day at 6:30 pm at The Farish Theater to let me read you a few poems about immigration, immigrating, making a space yours, making your self into your home.

Bring your handkerchiefs, but also your smiling faces, for this will be a celebration!

This will be an opportunity for me to thank you in person for making me feel welcome and loved in your wonderful country.

Love and light to you, good people of Kentucky!

Yours,
Katerina Stoykova-Klemer

We would love to have you there, and if you’re able to come, feel free to RSVP on the Facebook Event page.
