Regina Swint, with guest Darnell Somers, celebrates her new book.
Regina Y. Swint reached her goal of publishing a book and had a party to celebrate. Called The Other Side of 30, she dedicated the book to her Uncle Harvey Greene Penn, Jr. who reminded her of Langston Hughes. Therefore she was particularly pleased to hold the party at the Busboys and Poets in Shirlington, named for Langston Hughes.
She generously donated the $745 in proceeds from her celebration to Teaching for Change in honor of our 20th anniversary. Regina explained, “What Teaching for Change is doing for our teachers, youth, and families is near and dear to my heart.”
