| 'Sister in Arms' With Kaia Alderson |
This year’s African American Celebration will feature Kaia Alderson, author of “Sisters in Arms.” In the virtual presentation, Kaia will share her research and
inspiration for her debut novel, answer questions, and do a short reading.
Her novel reveals the untold story of the Six Triple Eight, the only all-Black

She holds a sociology degree from Spelman College and a master’s degree in education from the University of West Georgia. She honed her writing
chops at the Hurston/Wright Foundation’s and VONA’s writing workshops..
