Falkner, recently honored as a recipient of a United Arts Council Regional Artist Award, is the first woman sports writer in Virginia and one of the first in the Southeast. She has won awards in both sports journalism and public relations writing.
Falkner’s informal discussion will include a brief excerpt from her current project, a memoir entitled In Search of Cesar Chavez and a discussion of the author’s recent cross-country adventure. She will be introduced by long-time friend, Raleigh native, Debbie Durham.
