About the event
How does writing allow us to explore political grief, collective joy, and the range of emotions in between? How can we interrogate systems, relationships, and ways of engaging with the world around us? Authors Ibi Zoboi, Premilla Nadasen, and Zaina Arafat come together for a panel discussion reflecting on community building and systemic injustice through the lens of narrative nonfiction, afrofuturism, and other forms of storytelling.
Following the panel and a short break for book signings, attendees are welcome to attend a 40-minute Changemaker Authors writing workshop, both in-person and virtual, inspired by the speakers’ words. Writers and aspiring authors will learn how to focus social justice ideas and experiences into a single book project. Resources on the publishing process will be provided.
Register online or in-person here.
