Hi Cynique.
Kola Boof is being honored in Chicago on Sept. 25th by a Black Women's Group--"Affinity"--and is hoping you will come out with friends and hang out with her as her special guest.
The event is FREE. Dinner (with wine) starts at 6...Kola speaks at 7 and the event lasts until about 11. There will be TOP SECURITY.
The event will be held at
Affinity Community Services
5650 S. Woodlawn ~ Garden Level ~
Chicago, Illinois 60636
Kola asked that I warn you that this group called Affinity is a "black lesbian group", numbering about 100, but many of the other guests will be people from Kola's personal life and from Sudan. All proceeds from the sale of Kola's books will go to the Sudanese Children's Fund.
Kola will speak/sign books the very next day from 3 to 6 at the famous "BLACK STAR BOOKS" in DETROIT, MICHIGAN.
Here's the Press Release done by the Affinity women's group:

“CRITICALLY ACLAIMED WOMANIST WRITER, KOLA BOOF APPEARING IN CHICAGO!”
(Chicago, Illinois) On Saturday September 25, 2004 blackgurl press will host a book signing for Kola Boof, America’s most controversial Black Womanist Writer and Activist. Ms. Boof will sign her latest novel “Flesh and the Devil” and discuss
in depth…her early life, her affair with Osama Bin Laden, her work as an anti-slavery activist, gay rights activist and the many death threats that have surrounded her career, because of the acclaimed but controversial literature she writes.
Born in Sudan but adopted and raised in Washington, D.C. by Black Americans—Kola Boof is the author of six books published in 8 countries. In 1996, against her will, she became the mistress of Osama Bin Laden, and although she has refused to write a book about it, she has been profiled by FOX NEWS, the New York Post, the New York Observer, the London Guardian and many other media regarding her life. Read more about Kola Boof online at her personal web site: http://www.kolaboof.com
Admission is FREE.
Copies of “Flesh and the Devil” sell for $25.
80% of ALL Proceeds will go to the Sudanese Children’s Fund.
The event will be held at Affinity Community Services, 5650 S. Woodlawn ~ Garden Level ~ Chicago, Illinois 60636 at 6:00pm
