“Writing memoir isn’t ‘on’ the bucket list,
It is the bucket list.
It’s that powerful.”

Together, we’ll explore:
The power of personal narrative in amplifying diverse voices
Representation as a form of resistance and empowerment
The role of libraries and communities in defending intellectual freedom
This is more than a conversation—it’s a call to action. Let’s unite in championing the stories that shape our world.
