Monica Diodati co-owns Two Friends Books and has an affinity for creative nonfiction and taking slow bike rides through town. After working in urban planning and community organizing in Dallas, TX, she now lives in Bella Vista, AR, with her partner and two cats. In addition to the bookstore, she also organizes a number of public events and loves to cook for friends and family.
Blake Worthey is a Black American, dance-theater and teaching artist from Memphis, Tennessee. Currently, he is interested in how the dialectical technologies inherent in creative spaces can inform the building of a more equitable world outside of our artistic lives. His training includes a BFA in dance performance (University of Arkansas-Little Rock), Modus Operandi (Vancouver,BC), Orsalina 28 (Italy) and imitating various dance and kung fu movies circa 2004. Most recently he directed more like a hot pot less like a salad, a collaborative performance as part of the Live in America Festival.
