SUMMARY:SFLives Livestream: Journalist Denise Sullivan in conversation with Dr. Saidah Leatutufu-Burch
DESCRIPTION:Independent reporter Denise Sullivan brings the SF Lives series to Bird & Beckett for a Sunday morning livestream. This month’s guest is Dr. Saidah Leatutufu-Burch. We expect a wide-ranging discussion on the legacy of local Black history\, community organizing\, economic justice and the November San Francisco ballot. \nDr. Sai (Sy) is a Black and Sāmoan San Franciscan\, organizer\, cultural orator\, economic mobility strategist\, and liberationist. She is the Founder of Economic Emancipation LLC. and SLB Strategies—a social impact-focused consulting firm committed to equipping organizations with the tools and strategies necessary to drive sustainable change and achieve bold impact. Her work is guided by a core belief: “Liberate with love. Transform with power.” \nThe SFLives Project\, a series of candid conversations with San Francisco’s artists\, activists and free thinkers\, was conceived as a print media column by Denise Sullivan for the San Francisco Examiner where it ran from 2018-2022\, then transitioned into a live-streamed conversation\, produced by Jenna Littlejohn\, for Bird & Beckett. Past editions are archived on the Bird & Beckett YouTube channel. \nhttps://denisesullivan.org/about/

SUMMARY:Walker Talks
DESCRIPTION:An almost-monthly series of talks by Walker Brents III (9 or 10 talks a year for more than two decades) on various topics in poetry\, mythology\, folklore\, philosophy\, etc. Although primarily a live stream viewable on our YouTube channel and Facebook page\, it’s also fine if you slip into the darkened shop to listen in person.

SUMMARY:All About San Francisco’s Stairways: No Walking Required! w/ Mary Burk & Alexandra Kenin
DESCRIPTION:Take a comfy seat and celebrate the grand finale of SF Stairway Month hearing authors Mary Burk (Stairway Walks in San Francisco) and Alexandra Kenin (Urban Trails series\, San Francisco\, East Bay\, Peninsula and South Bay). And sharpen your wits: We will have special SF stairway trivia game designed by moderator Liz Novoa (aka Instagram’s staircase queen). \nMary and Alex will delight you with stories of SF’s known and hidden stairways\, tell you about the best views\, and share the whereabouts of secret gardens and more. Mary enjoyed a longstanding partnership with Adah Bakalinsky\, co-authoring these now renowned stairway books until Adah’s passing at over 100 years old. Alex is the embodiment of energy. In addition to highlights from her book(s)\, she will share her detailed map of everything that you have wanted to know about SF’s roughly1000 stairways. \nThis event is organized by Glen Park Beautiful (www.gpbeautiful.org). It is the 3rd annual SF Stairway Month\, which was inspired by the creation of Glen Park’s Burnside Tiled Steps. The event is also featured in this inaugural year of Walktober\, a month-long celebration of guided walks in San Francisco hosted by the Crosstown Trail.
