Join us on 31st May for a thought-provoking evening as we discuss Lola Olufemi's reimagining 'Feminism, Interrupted: Disrupting Power'. The discussion will be led by Sudanese-Australian writer, engineer and award-winning social advocate, Yassmin Abdel-Magied. We’re bringing together the Amaliah sisterhood to explore Lola Olufemi's manifesto on demanding a radical feminism and reimagining the world we live in by confronting the racist and capitalist patriarchy and recognising that our struggle for social justice is truly an intersectional one. Yassmin will take us through the night with prompts and questions to guide us through these topics and to understand how to make meaningful change. Come and connect with other Muslim women in a welcoming and familiar space to share your views and ideas on this book.

Book Clubs can be a transformative gateway to DEI competencies, revealing the power of collective learning, community building, and constructive disagreement. Within the safe space of a Book Club, we can get curious about lives 'less familiar' and celebrate diverse thought.   Building on last week's #WorldBookDay - originally created by UNESCO in 1995 - we're sharing our appreciation for #BookClubs dedicated to spotlighting underrepresented authors + stories, and fostering community, world-wide.  Here are just a few: 📕 Well-Read Black Girl (US) connects diverse writers to future generations, to address inequalities and improve communities through reading and reflecting on the works of Black women: https://lnkd.in/ejExnUHD   📗 Amaliah (UK) is dedicated to amplifying the voices of Muslim women through articles, videos, award-winning podcasts, social channels, events and brand partnerships. Their Book Club shares recommended reads from, and curates events for, their community.   📙 Latinas & Libros Book Club (LATAM) elevates the voices + stories of Latinas, and is curated in partnership with Latina-owned anti-racist bookstore, Booklandia. They host regular IG conversations with Latina authors here: https://lnkd.in/ef4tA8vn #DEI #DiverseVoices #Community #Empathy #DivergentThinking #Storytelling #SafeSpaces #Reading #AntiRacist #Curiosity   ----- Recently discovered our page?
