"MahoganyBooks is about bringing empowered, insightful and intellectual voices of the African diaspora to our readers," stated Co-Founder and Co-Owner Ramunda Young. "In her 9th decade, Cicely Tyson is an American treasure, and it is an honor to hear her pearls of wisdom about love, life and history as an African American woman. This will be an unforgettable event."
From her starring role on Broadway in "The Blacks" (1961), to the Emmy-nominated 1999 HBO film "A Lesson Before Dying", Cicely Tyson's work has garnered critical and commercial applause for more than sixty years. Her two Emmys for "The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman" made her the first African-American woman to win an Emmy for Best Actress. In 2013, Ms. Tyson won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a play for her performance as Miss Carrie Watts in "The Trip to Bountiful". A capstone achievement came in 2018, when she became the first Black woman to receive an honorary Oscar. The Board of Governors voted unanimously to honor her with the award, which came 45 years after her Academy Award nominated performance in "Sounder".
