Book Society®

Preserving Ancestral Knowledge as BIPOC Writers brings together four Bay Area authors for a conversation about what it means to carry family history, language, and memory into the work of writing.

Joining us are Eirinie Carson, Sabina Khan-Ibarra, Rowena Leong Singer, and Grace Loh Prasad—writers whose books span memoir, fiction, and personal essay, and whose work is united by a deep engagement with diaspora, lineage, and belonging. Several are part of Rooted &amp; Written, a program of San Francisco's Writers Grotto dedicated to writers integrating their histories into their craft.

Together they'll talk about how to listen to, record, and honor ancestral knowledge on the page—without flattening it for mainstream expectations. Expect a conversation that moves between the personal and the craft-focused: how to write the stories that were handed down to you, the ones that were withheld, and the ones you're only now learning to ask about.

This is a conversation Book Society has been looking forward to since seeing it at the Bay Area Book Festival, and we're honored to host these four writers for an evening of literary community in Berkeley.

Your ticket includes:
<ul><li>A moderated conversation with four acclaimed BIPOC authors</li><li>Book signing and Q&amp;A</li><li>A glass of wine and good company, Book Society–style</li></ul>

About the Authors

Eirinie Carson&nbsp;is a member of the Writers Grotto in San Francisco and a frequent contributor to Mother&nbsp;magazine. Her work has also appeared in LitHub, Notre Dame Review, Mortal Mag, Electric Literature, The Sonora Review, and others. Bloodfire, Baby&nbsp;is her debut novel.

Sabina Khan-Ibarra&nbsp;is a Pashtun American writer and educator whose work has been recognized by major literary prizes and fellowships. She teaches creative writing throughout the Bay Area and California, and directs Rooted &amp; Written at the Writers Grotto.

Rowena Leong Singer&nbsp;is an award-winning Chinese-Filipino writer and editor whose work appears in The New York Times, North American Review, Black Warrior Review, Narrative, and elsewhere. She's the grand prize winner in literary fiction for the Book Pipeline Unpublished Contest, holds an MFA from Bennington, and serves as an associate editor at CRAFT&nbsp;and a director of Rooted &amp; Written.

Grace Loh Prasad&nbsp;is the author of the memoir The Translator's Daughter&nbsp;(Mad Creek Books/The Ohio State University Press)—a finalist for the Northern California Book Award and the Feminist Press Louise Meriwether First Book Prize, and one of the San Francisco Chronicle's Best Books of 2024. Her writing on belonging and diaspora has appeared in The New York Times, Literary Hub, Longreads, Guernica, and more.

Personal Training with Unlimited DEXA and VO2 Max

Custom Fit

Most training programs run on guesswork. Custom Fit replaces it with measurement. At its San Francisco studios, Personal Training and Partner Training memberships include unlimited DEXA body-composition scans and VO2 max testing — diagnostics usually sold one scan at a time or reserved for specialized clinics. Custom Fit members can test as often as they train. The reasoning is straightforward. A DEXA scan measures fat, lean muscle, and bone density with clinical precision. A VO2 max test measures the body's maximum oxygen uptake, one of the strongest predictors of cardiovascular fitness and long-term health. Run those tests on a regular cadence and a member can see exactly what is changing, where, and whether a program is working — rather than relying on the scale or the mirror. That is the idea behind Custom Fit's positioning: not a gym, a performance lab. Every program is built from a member's measured body composition and cardiovascular capacity, then adjusted as the data moves. The goal is to eliminate the guesswork that defines most fitness routines and to treat training as something you can verify. The model also brings longevity diagnostics that usually live in concierge medicine into a routine training week. Body composition and cardiovascular capacity are central markers of how well a person is aging, and regular testing keeps those numbers visible rather than treating them as an occasional, expensive add-on. Custom Fit operates in Hayes Valley (323 Octavia Street), on Market Street (1844 Market), and with a Downtown San Francisco location on Battery Street (570 Battery) opening soon. Personal Training, Partner Training, and select memberships include the testing. More information is available at customfitsf.com.

Are there hidden accessibility barriers on your website?

Accessibility in Practice

Does your website look great but people still drop off before buying, booking, or signing up? Most small business owners don’t realize accessibility might be the reason. Your site might “pass” an automated scan or look fine visually, but still be impossible to use for people navigating by keyboard, screen reader, or other assistive tech. Automated tools don’t test whether someone can actually fill out a form, complete a purchase, book a service, or make a donation. That’s where accessibility issues tend to hide. In fact, WebAIM’s 2025 Million report found that 94.8% of the top 1,000,000 home pages had detectable Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) failures. That’s where I come in. I run hands-on accessibility reviews that go beyond automated tools. I test your site like a real user would and translate the findings into clear, prioritized fixes you can implement or hand to your developer or designer. Ways to work together: 1. Full Website Accessibility Audit (deep review across your site) 2. Homepage-Only Mini Audit (fast check of your most-visited page) 3. PDF Accessibility Conversion (make PDFs usable with screen readers) 4. Alt Text Writing Packages (product photos, homepage images, posts) 5. Email Signature Accessibility Review (fix a common, overlooked barrier) 6. Social Media Accessibility Quick Review (graphics, captions, links, video basics) and more! What you’ll get (always): 1. Plain-language results 2. A prioritized fix list 3. Practical guidance you can use right away Our approach Transparent pricing • Fast turnaround • WCAG-aligned • ADA/Section 508–informed • Bay Area + remote clients If your site is hard to use, it’s hard to grow. Prioritizing accessibility helps more people access your content, services, and opportunities. contact@accessibilityinpractice.com
