About the Event
Onyx is the fifth published book from author Cyrene Renee. It is a dark place. At times, it is a
sad place, but a place we can all relate to. It is a real space and it should not be ignored. It
could be a place of peace and solace. A private place within ourselves that could be the source
of comfort and motivation. Our thoughts can roam free and judgement cannot survive. It is a
space of love. It is a space where the noise is, and our voices can be heard. It is a place of
consoling. It is just as sacred as our individual and collective light that we share. The hope is
we all overcome all our fears.
