About this Event
In this gripping collection of true stories, Jo DeLuzio speaks with nine survivors who sought refuge in Canada, forced to escape assault, torture, and even death in their home countries due to their sexual orientation or gender identity. Through their eyes, we begin to understand what it means to have your identity make it impossible to safely exist. DeLuzio’s captivating exploration of international atrocities presents a brutally honest account of the hate crimes happening around the world. In DeLuzio’s words, “It was extremely difficult not to cry. I had and still have no way to process what they were telling me.” These atrocities are often swept under the rug, and DeLuzio’s collection of interviews are both a call to action and a reminder that the fight for equality is far from over. A must-read for anyone who has a heart.
Guests will have the opportunity to mix and mingle, and there will be drinks and snacks provided. The author will give a speech and there will be a Q&A portion. An ASL interpreter will be provided.
