SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk with Reyna Grande
DESCRIPTION:Register Here \n  \n\n\nIn her ambitious new memoir\, Migrant Heart: Essays About Things I Can’t Forget\, beloved bestselling author Reyna Grande illuminates the hidden cost of the American Dream and the complex journey of healing that follows survival. \nWhat is the true power of stories? Can they heal the jagged edges of a traumatic childhood? Is the cost of telling the story worth the price of the cure? \nWith her signature blend of sophistication and raw honesty\, Grande interrogates how living between two nations\, two languages\, and two identities has shaped the woman\, mother\, and writer she has become. Moving from the legacy of violence in her hometown of Iguala\, Mexico\, to a bittersweet family vacation in Europe spent reconciling her own impoverished past with her children’s world of abundance\, she uncovers startling truths about the nature of survival. \nWhether being racially profiled in the Arizona borderlands or finding unexpected wisdom from the slugs in her garden\, Grande unflinchingly asks: How do we bridge the gap between who we were and who we have become? How do we turn pain into power? When memory threatens to define us\, how can we use story to heal while still honoring our boundaries? \nRegister today for this virtual talk if you identify as a seeker\, a dreamer\, or “anyone who believes in the enduring\, transformative power of finding one’s voice.” \nAbout the Author: \nReyna Grande is an award-winning author\, motivational speaker\, and writing teacher. As a young girl\, she crossed the US–Mexico border to join her family in Los Angeles\, a harrowing journey chronicled in The Distance Between Us\, a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist. Her other books include the novels A Ballad of Love and Glory\, Across a Hundred Mountains\, and Dancing with Butterflies\, the memoirs Migrant Heart\, The Distance Between Us: Young Readers Edition\, and A Dream Called Home\, and the anthology Somewhere We Are Human: Authentic Voices on Migration\, Survival\, and New Beginnings. She lives in Woodland\, California\, with her husband and two children. Visit ReynaGrande.com for more information.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk with Dr. Marisa Franco
DESCRIPTION:Register Here \n  \nJoin us in virtual conversation with bestselling author Dr. Marisa Franco\, one of the world’s leading experts in human connection. Her book\, Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make–And Keep–Friends\, explores the science of different attachment styles and how they impact our relationships–often in ways we don’t realize! \nHow do we make and keep friends in an era of distraction\, burnout\, and chaos\, especially in a society that often prizes romantic love at the expense of other relationships? In Platonic\, Dr. Marisa G. Franco unpacks the latest\, often counterintuitive findings about the bonds between us—for example\, why your friends aren’t texting you back (it’s not because they hate you!)\, and the myth of “friendships happening organically” (making friends\, like cultivating any relationship\, requires effort!). As Dr. Franco explains\, to make and keep friends you must understand your attachment style—secure\, anxious\, or avoidant: it is the key to unlocking what’s working (and what’s failing) in your friendships. \nMaking new friends\, and deepening longstanding relationships\, is possible at any age—in fact\, it’s essential. The good news: there are specific\, research-based ways to improve the number and quality of your connections using the insights of attachment theory and the latest scientific research on friendship. Platonic provides a clear and actionable blueprint for forging strong\, lasting connections with others—and for becoming our happiest\, most fulfilled selves in the process. \nRegister today to learn more about how to harness the science of human connection to create cultures of belonging.  \nAbout the Author: \nAn enlightening psychologist\, New York Times bestselling author\, and TED speaker\, Dr. Marisa G. Franco is known for digesting and communicating science in ways that resonate deeply enough with people to change their lives.  \nDr. Franco works as a professor at The University of Maryland and authored Platonic: How The Science of Attachment Can Help You Make – and Keep – Friends. She writes about friendship for Psychology Today and has been a featured connection expert for major publications like The New York Times\, The Telegraph\, and Vice. \nDr. Franco speaks on belonging at corporations\, government agencies\, non-profits\, and universities across the country\, including Harper Collins Publishers\, Cisco\, American Association for the Advancement of Science\, and The Department of State.

SUMMARY:The Legacy of Julia Child's Kitchen with Smithsonian Curator Paula J. Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Register Here \n  \n\n\nJoin us for a conversation that’s sure to warm your heart (and make your stomach rumble)\, as we delve into the legacy of cooking icon Julia Child with Smithsonian curator and public historian Paula J. Johnson\, author of Julia Child’s Kitchen: The Design\, Tools\, Stories\, and Legacy of an Iconic Space. The book includes interviews with chefs who knew Julia well\, commentary on her favorite culinary tools and kitchen gadgets\, and a stunning array of photos. \nJulia Child’s 20’ x 14’ kitchen was a serious workspace and recipe‑testing lab that exuded a sense of mid‑century homey comfort. It has been on display at the National Museum of American History in Washington\, D.C.\, for most of the past twenty-three years\, and museum goers have made it a top destination. \nThe kitchen contains more than one thousand parts and pieces—tools\, appliances\, utensils\, furniture\, artwork\, knick‑knacks\, books\, and bits of whimsy—all reflecting Julia’s status as an accomplished chef\, gastronome\, delightful cooking teacher\, television trailblazer\, women’s advocate\, mentor\, and generous\, jovial friend. \nJulia Child’s Kitchen (and this online conversation) is a must‑have for every serious home cook and Julia Child fan. Register now to enter the discussion and learn more about how Julia Child continues to influence food today! \nAbout the Author:  \nPaula J. Johnson is a curator and public historian at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington\, DC. She conducts research and collects objects relating to the history and culture of American food and serves as the Director of the Smithsonian’s Food History Project. Johnson was one of the curators who collected Julia Child’s home kitchen in 2001 and led the team that created FOOD: Transforming the American Table\, a multi-layered exhibition that explores the major changes in food production\, distribution\, and consumption in the United States since the 1950s. She has shaped and contributed to many public programs on food history and leads the annual “Food History Weekend.” Johnson is the author of many articles and three books\, including Julia Child’s Kitchen: The Design\, Tools Stories\, and Legacy of an Iconic Space (2024). She received the Smithsonian Distinguished Scholar in the Humanities Award in 2020. \nJohnson began her museum career at the Calvert Marine Museum in Solomons\, Maryland\, and has worked at the Smithsonian since 1991.
