Details
Join us, virtually, on Thursday, October 21st from 6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. as the YWomen Read Book Club discusses section one of “Once I Was You: A Memoir of Love and Hate in a Torn America” by Maria Hinojosa. In Once I Was You, Maria shares her intimate experience growing up Mexican American on the South Side of Chicago. She offers a personal and illuminating account of how the rhetoric around immigration has not only long informed American attitudes toward outsiders, but also sanctioned willful negligence and profiteering at the expense of our country’s most vulnerable populations—charging us with the broken system we have today.
The YWomen Read quarterly book club introduces books that help educate the community about social justice issues which will keep the YWCA's mission of "eliminating racism and empowering women" top of mind. Join us, whether you’ve read the book or not, to engage in thoughtful conversation.
