About this event
Join Syrian journalist, photographer, and writer Lubna Mrie as she leads a discussion about her new memoir:
Defiance: A Memoir of Awakening, Rebellion, and Survival in Syria
. Defiance is the unforgettable account of one woman's fight for freedom—against a father, a dictator, and the weight of inherited belief. From the streets of Aleppo to exile in New York City, it offers an electrifying portrait of moral courage in the face of authoritarianism and violence.
