The Greenidge Sisters On Writing

Kirsten Greenidge and Kaitlyn Greenidge are sisters and writers. They are Massachusetts natives, and they both have written stories about African-American characters in the Boston area — Kirsten in her plays and Kaitlyn in her forthcoming novel.

They are speaking together at a Harvard Book Store event Friday with "Transition: The Magazine of Africa and the Diaspora."
