Reda Taleb Book Signing + Moderated Discussion
Join us to celebrate the launch of Reda Taleb’s new book “Noura’s Extraordinary Superpower: A Book for Youth with Incarcerated Loved Ones and How to Activate the Innate Superpower of Empathy for Healing.” This book is the first in a series entitled “Ordinary People with Extraordinary Superpowers.” Stay tuned for upcoming books on how Noura and her family navigate the challenges of having an incarcerated loved one through a nuanced perspective of their community’s struggle to be seen, valued, and heard within the collective struggle for equity and inclusion.
Books will be available for sale following the event, including book signing and pictures. Light refreshments will be served. Please register here in order to help us get a count on attendance. We are delighted that you will be joining us in our new space!
