"Ain't That A Mother" - Arizona Authors ONLINE Book Club
·OnlineOnlineJoin us as we continue to feature LOCAL Arizona authors. Up next is "Ain't That A Mother" by Adiba Nelson
The Pima County library has copies of the e-audiobook, the physical book, the book on CD, the e-book, AND large print. Pick your reading pleasure!
No one said motherhood would be easy. For Adiba Nelson, the journey to parenthood started with a big bang and continues with a breakdown (or two) and several "why?"
Along the way, Adiba never loses her heart or her humor. This is a true love story, but the kind about a woman loving herself enough to change the course of her life for herself, her child, and the women after her as well as before.
Meet Adiba Nelson
Adiba Nelson is an award-winning, best-selling author, speaker, burlesque performer, star of the Emmy Award-winning documentary, “The Full Nelson”, literary activist, and mother to her sassy, hilarious, disabled teen daughter, Emory.Join our monthly ONLINE Book Group

Vision Board Workshop on River Road!
Natural Grocers, 5600 E River Rd, Tucson, AZ, USVision Board Bash: Dream It, See It, Create It!
Whether you're a first-timer or a vision board veteran, this is your chance to gather with friends, get inspired, and have a little creative fun while you map out your best life. Let’s turn dreaming into doing — together.
And yes — friends, sisters, neighbors — bring ‘em along! The more, the merrier.
We’ll kick things off with some lighthearted conversation about goals, manifesting, and setting your sights on the life you want. Then it’s time to dive in and create your board — your way. There are no rules when it comes to picturing joy, success, or your next big adventure.
We’ll bring the poster board, scissors, glue, and a stash of supplies. You bring your ideas, your favorite people, and anything else you want — magazines, stickers, glitter (if that’s your jam). Or bring your laptop and make a digital board.
Make it a party. Make it a vision. Make it yours.
