Reema Zaman in Conversation With Lidia Yuknavitch
February 17, 2019 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
FreeFor too long, through the most intimate acts of erasure, women have been silenced. Now, women everywhere are breaking through the limits placed on us by family, society, and tradition. To find our voices. To make space for ourselves in this world. Now is the moment to reclaim what was once lost, stolen, forsaken, or abandoned. Reema Zaman’s I Am Yours (Amberjack) is about Zaman’s fight to protect and free her voice from those who have sought to silence her, for the sake of creating a world where all voices are welcome and respected. Because the voice, without intimacy, will atrophy. Zaman will be joined in conversation by Lidia Yuknavitch, author of The Book of Joan.
