Author Dr. Subrina Oliver hosted a discussion of her powerful debut book titled Instinct, Identity, and the Space Between at Charlotte’s Speakeasy in Farmingdale with guests and family in attendance.  Also, the official launch of her publishing imprint, TalentPipeline.Press.

The evening blended with music poetry, storytelling, and soul-filled celebration in an intimate speakeasy setting—honoring legacy, voice, and community.

Instinct, Identity, and the Space Between is a lyrical journey through life’s messiest, most poignant moments. This collection of poems and narratives explores the delicate balance between who we are, what we feel, and the choices we make. With sharp humor, unflinching honesty, and an urban flair, the author dives into themes of love, loss, resilience, and self-discovery.

“We weren’t just telling stories—we were building legacy, pouring joy, and reminding each other that our voices are art,” Oliver said
