Friends, on Finding One’s Voice, Oct 26, 10:30am with Minelle Mahtani
Broadcaster and journalist Minelle Mahtani has captivated Canadians with her enveloping, welcoming perspective and work supporting others to share their own stories. Her memoir, May It Have a Happy Ending, describes her poignant journey of gaining her voice just as her mother lost her own. Ayelet Tsabari is a celebrated literary voice, whose debut novel, Songs for the Brokenhearted, shares the journey of a young Yemeni Israeli woman who, lost within family stories, discovers her mother’s secret romance—and the reverberations of decisions through history. These two magnetic speakers also happen to be very good friends. Together, they’ll discuss the hard, beautiful work of finding one’s voice, through history and through stories, in an intimate conversation to remember.
