Join us for a virtual event where we will be discussing, All our Ordinary Stories: A Multigenerational Family Odyssey. In the genre of a graphic memoir, this book uses illustrations and powerful prose to depict author Teresa Wong's exploration through time and place to understand her feelings of disconnection from her parents. Grappling with the complex family dynamics that can exist for children of immigrants, Wong seeks to honor her parents' pasts while trying to carve out a different kind of future for herself. The event will take place on Tue Mar 11 2025 at 5pm PST. Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with other Asians/Asian Americans through the power of stories!

EVENT FAQ:

Who is this group for?

This group is open to all those who identify as Asian & Asian American, ages 18+.
