About the Event

Earthly Playing Field is speculative fiction novel by Radhika Singh that follows Roma who has a steady job, a mortgage, and a surrogate family in Queens. But as she moves through her daily routines, the powerful Empire that rules her world bares its teeth elsewhere—crushing freedom movements across the planet, including the Punjabi farmers’ uprising where her younger brother struggles on the frontlines.

Radhika Singh lives, writes, and teaches in Queens, NY. Her fiction speculates on the presence of magic in this world, the connection to spirit and consciousness, and the power of the people to organize for collective liberation.

Aba Taylor is the President & CEO of YW Boston with over 25 years of experience as a facilitator, organizer, consultant, nonprofit executive and board member working to uplift BlPOC communities, women and girls, immigrants, LGBTQIA communities, and cultural changemakers on local, regional, national and international scales. She has held key positions at organizations including the United Nations, the Astraea Foundation for Justice, the Massachusetts Human Rights Commission, the Network for Social Justice, and Interaction Institute for Social Change.
