Chan returns to Greenlight with his beloved book Why Mariah Carey Matters, the first book to critically examine the creative evolution, complicated biography, and ultimate legacy of the arguably underappreciated pop superstar. Lordi launches her new book Holding Lightning, a showstopping portrait and the first major biography of icon Whitney Houston. With unique access to the star's innermost circle, Lordi presents Houston as we’ve never seen her before—a woman in her full power, a musician who knew the impact of her gift, and a fulcrum of Black celebrity. Chan and Lordi celebrate the impact of true divas Carey and Houston with a joint reading and discussion, before an audience Q&A and signing. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/brooklyn/in-praise-of-divas-mariah-carey-and-whitney-houston/100001994958578812 - **Event Categories**: music, art, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: Greenlight Bookstore in Fort Greene - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 37.67, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Brooklyn - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Greenlight Bookstore in Fort Greene - **lat**: 40.6861766 - **long**: -73.9745672 - **full address**: Greenlight Bookstore in Fort Greene, 686 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: In Praise of Divas: Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/5789b6d7bcb35b6ef8d17d1b3acc00bf55167ea9878faefbe2ea0e18cc998e10-rimg-w1200-h600-dc383838-gmir.jpg?v=1785824796 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is In Praise of Divas: Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston being held? - **A:** In Praise of Divas: Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston takes place on Wed, 30 Sep, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Wed, 30 Sep, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Greenlight Bookstore in Fort Greene, 686 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing In Praise of Divas: Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston? - **A:** In Praise of Divas: Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston is organized by Greenlight Bookstore. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
