Facilitated by our host David Chariandy, Chelene Knight joins us in-person to discuss her new book, Junie, a riveting exploration of the complexity within the mother-daughter relationship. Intimate and urgent, Junie is an unflinching tale of the dynamic vitality and eventual destruction of the once thriving Black and immigrant community of Vancouver’s former Hogan’s Alley neighborhood.

This is an in-person event. Drop-in, no registration required.
