Program Description

Event Details

Books are people - they are our neighbors from diverse backgrounds who are willing to share their personal experiences and defining moments. Together with Humanities Iowa and CultureALL - join us for an "open book" discussion featuring two different speakers who will each touch upon their own individual cultural experiences. The conversations that follow will leave you feeling even more like you belong within your community

Gabby Guerra's discussion "Dreams" will leave audience members inspired to achieve their dreams as she tells us about her experiences as a young immigrant trying to navigate a whole new culture while still staying true to oneself. She'll share how she has experienced her dreams through the lens of a queer, immigrant Latina woman in Iowa.

Stefanie Kaylor discusses living "Life on Two Spectrums", what it means to live more fully in your own identity, and the joy in finding strengths from weaknesses. Stefanie is queer and autistic. This is her story about how she recognized these traits in herself and lives more fully in these identities.

Registration is required and limited to 40 participants, so please do so here.
