Library of Life

This event is free and open to the public. It will be held in Rooms 131/132 in the Heim Center. Registration is not required yet seating is limited. There will be an opportunity to purchase Ciara's book after the presentation.

Rooted in my book Cliché Your Way Through Life REMIX, each event blends storytelling, therapy-inspired reflection, and practical life tools. By connecting the metaphor of the library with real-life resources, the program encourages participants to see both literature and community as guides for navigating challenges, building resilience, and creating lives they don’t want to escape.
