This is Women's History Month, and we are seeking to share empowering narratives. Smoke & Oak is more than just a lounge; it is a crossroads of stories and traditions. Among the regulars, many tales unfold, some whispered between friends and others shared openly over a fine pour of bourbon. It is a place where history lingers in the air as much as the smoke, a space where past and present meet with a quiet understanding that everything is "off the record."
Locally, the Women’s Political Caucus was selected because it was non-partisan. Members were white and black, Democrats and Republicans, and even one or two unaffiliated. Ages were between 35 and 75.
Recently Tonya Lanier celebrated the release of her book, Lost in the Shuffle II. Lanier’s first book, Lost in the Shuffle I, was written to inform others of the untold history of various residents of Davidson County. Lost in the Shuffle II is a continuation of Lost in the Shuffle I.
From local sororities to organizations that seek to preserve controversial aspects of history, our first week of celebrating local women was quite colorful.
In true Davidson Local style, we will honor the month with stories that not only weave information into the telling but engage emotions and energy. Groups of women will be featured this month to represent action, transition, leadership and compassion in our local community. Stories will include local perspectives from an array of collaborators.
