Join us as we launch Zena Sharman's memoir, Staying Power - with a conversation led by author, Hannah McGregor!
Sharman's memoir in essays, is a beautiful and honest journey of care work, grief, parenting, and chosen family in the wake of intergenerational trauma. Exploring the lessons and inheritances of being raised by survivors of complex traumas, the book challenges the notion that one must be healed in order to parent well and celebrates the transformative power of queer family-making beyond gay marriage and assimilation into the nuclear family.
Hannah McGregor is an academic, podcaster, author of Clever Girl: Jurassic Park and A Sentimental Education, and co-editor of Refuse: CanLit in Ruins. They are also the director of publishing at Simon Fraser University, co-director of the Amplify Podcast Network, and co-founder of feminist media company Witch, Please Productions.
