“Join Stacey Abrams, political leader, voting rights activist, entrepreneur, and NYTimes bestselling author for an evening of candid conversation and insights on politics, leadership, entrepreneurship, social justice and being a true voice for change,” the Tobin said on its website.
“Designed around worldwide and national events, as well as questions from the audience and community, this conversation with Stacey Abrams will entertain, inform, and empower.”
The tour’s announcement comes after last week’s release of her latest book -- a political thriller titled “While Justice Sleeps.”
The book was also picked up by Working Title Television, part of NBCUniversal International Studios, for a small-screen adaption, in which Abrams will serve as executive producer.
Abrams, a Democrat, served in Georgia’s House of Representatives before she narrowly lost Georgia’s gubernatorial race in 2018 and was thrust into the spotlight as a leading voice for voting access.
She is also a lauded author for her books “Our Time Is Now” and “Minority Leader,” and began her writing career as a romance novelist.
Her speaking tour will take her to 11 other cities across the U.S., including Grand Prairie, on Nov. 10.
