About this Event
What happens when life asks us to begin again?
What happens when, after loss, disappointment, love, change and unexpected turns, we finally find the courage to listen to our own voice—and choose ourselves?
Join author Edwidge Lafleur Bayas for an intimate and inspiring evening of conversation, reflection, storytelling and book signing at The Foundry in Cambridge.
Through her two deeply personal books, Edwidge invites readers into a journey through the experiences that shape us—and the inner strength we discover when we decide that our stories are not defined by what happened to us, but by what we choose to become.
Featured Books
📖 Renaître n'est pas un hasard
Traverser, tomber... et choisir de renaître
The French-language edition explores the journey of falling, enduring, healing and ultimately finding the courage to rise again.
📖 I Chose Me
A Journey Through Loss, Love, and Becoming
The English-language edition is a deeply personal reflection on love, loss, relationships, resilience and the transformative decision to reclaim one's voice and one's life.
An Evening for Anyone Who Has Ever Had to Begin Again
Whether you are navigating a transition, recovering from loss, questioning what comes next, or simply reflecting on the woman or person you are becoming, this evening offers an opportunity to pause, connect and be inspired.
Come to:
- Meet the author and hear the stories behind the books
- Listen to readings and reflections from both works
- Take part in a meaningful conversation about resilience, healing and self-discovery
- Connect with other readers and members of the Greater Boston community
- Have your copy signed by Edwidge
This is more than a book signing.
It is an invitation to reflect on where we have been, honor how far we have come, and consider what becomes possible when we choose ourselves.
Come as you are. Bring your story. Leave inspired.
