Program Description
About this event:
Memoirs like The Prince of Los Cocuyos can act as both mirrors and windows for us to see representations of ourselves, as well as to consider many outlooks and perspectives. As National Coming Out Day approaches during this 50th anniversary year of the Stonewall Riots, participate in an exploration of books with multidimensional, nuanced characters who are more than only their sexual identities. We'll discuss ways we tell our own stories, and the power of books and media to contribute to our making meaning of our families, communities and identities.
