Where Conversation Meets Culture With Dr. Kemi Doll

Gina South and Philly Book Joy Present An Intimate Evening Featuring Afrocentric Buffet Dinner, Inspiring Fireside Chat, and Book Signing.

Dr. Doll's forthcoming book A Terrible Strength: The Hidden Crisis of the Black Womb and Your Survival Guide to Healing, exposes the systemic gynecological health crisis Black women face, where pain is minimized, care is unequal, and outcomes are often deadly.

The evening is hosted at the award-winning Honeysuckle restaurant, where Afrocentric food is thoughtfully curated by a family of cooks, creators, and entrepreneurs on a mission to reclaim Black food traditions.

The program will feature an inspiring fireside chat between Dr. Doll and Gina South, an engaging audience Q&A, and a book signing.

Your ticket includes: (1) The book (in partnership with Uncle Bobbie's), (2) Afrocentric Buffet Dinner by Honeysuckle, and (3) A creative cocktail. Cash bar available for additional drinks.

Part memoir, part survival guide, all truth. Dr. Kemi Doll’s debut book is a powerful blend of lived experience, scientific insight, and unflinching truth. Bringing equal reverence to the scalpel and the spirit, it calls out what has been silenced and offers a vision for what comes next. In A Terrible Strength, Dr. Doll equips women with the tools to recognize Womb Suffering - including Endometriosis, Fibroids, Heavy Bleeding, and Endometrial cancer, as well as guides women to be able to advocate for themselves and reclaim their health.
