There's Always This Year, out 3/26/24. I am so proud of this book, and I feel very lucky that I got to write it. It would mean a lot to me if you would preorder it and also share it with folks who might be into it. Gratitude, always.

ALT The cover of Hanif's new book, There's Always This Year, showing a basketball hoop against a blue sky. A young black boy sits atop the hoop, wearing a tan flannel zip up, tan pants, and a pair of blue jordan 5 high tops. The title and subtitle (There's Always This Year: On Basketball And Ascension) are in gold.
this, specifically, sells out every year. Tickets very literally just went on sale and it’s already half sold out. This show is special, it’s our 9th year doing it & if you would like to come to this, I would get tickets with some urgency:

two of the four things this year are entirely free, which was a priority going into the curation. And the two free things are things I am incredibly excited about people seeing.
