About the Event
The Cultural Collective Café & BrickNKulture Events Space, alongside Jeannine A. Cook—self-described “wordworker”—warmly invite you to a special in-person experience: Shut Up & Read (and Write): A Conversation with Jeannine & Sadiyyah!
Join us for an intimate evening centered on connection, introspection, and creativity. Through guided journaling, thoughtful conversation, and shared reflection, this gathering is designed to inspire both personal growth and meaningful dialogue.
Jeannine’s latest work, Shut Up and Read: A Memoir from Harriett’s Bookshop, speaks directly to the heart of every reader and creative spirit.
Jeannine A. Cook is the founder and owner of three innovative bookshop concepts: Harriett’s in Philadelphia, Ida’s in South Jersey, and Josephine’s, a literary installation in Paris. She holds an MFA from Drexel University and is also the author of the novel It’s Me They Follow.
