About this Event
Stories of Refugees Resilience: An evening with author Helen Benedict
Join us at Eat Offbeat in Chelsea Market for a powerful evening of storytelling, food, and conversation with acclaimed author Helen Benedict. Her novel, The Good Deed, explores the refugee experience through the story of Syrian and Sudanese women seeking safety in Greece, only to face new struggles in their search for justice and belonging. The book sheds light on the realities of displacement, the bonds formed between those forced from their homes, and the moral complexities of offering help.
At Eat Offbeat, we celebrate the rich culinary traditions of refugee and immigrant chefs, offering guests the opportunity to experience flavors from around the world while supporting a mission of empowerment and inclusion. What better place to host this event that brings together literature and cuisine to spark meaningful dialogue about migration, identity, and the power of community?
Your admission will include delicious appetizers and soft drinks, with the option to stay and have dinner with the author after the talk. (Dinner can be paid on site). The dinner and food will feature chef Diaa from Syria and chef Gladys from Sudan.
Eat Offbeat will be offering 20% of the proceeds of the evening to the International Refugee Assistance Project, IRAP, https://refugeerights.org.
