Reimagine has been hosting candlelight vigils since March 2020, the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to break down taboos and hold space for all that we've lost. This gathering features artist and writer Rachel Eliza Griffiths, author of the new memoir The Flower Bearers in which she inscribes the trajectories of two transformational relationships -- a friendship with her late friend and chosen sister, the poet Kamilah Aisha Moon, and her marriage to novelist Salman Rushdie -- with grace and honesty, chronicling the beauty and pain that comes with opening oneself fully to love.
Rachel Eliza Griffiths is a poet, visual artist, and novelist. She is a recipient of the Hurston/Wright Foundation Legacy Award and the Paterson Poetry Prize and was a finalist for the NAACP Image Award. Her work has been published in The New York Times, The New Yorker, the Paris Review, and many others. Her debut novel, Promise, was a Kirkus Reviews and Chicago Public Library Best Book of the Year.
