Reading to Resistance: June Session

Reading asks us to pay attention, both to ourselves and the world around us. This book club, which is co-hosted by A Better Force and the Asian Family Support Services of Austin, will be a space to reflect on how these teachings can point us to a path of collective safety and liberation.

In our second session, we will be discussing What My Bones Know, a memoir about reckoning and healing by journalist Stephanie Foo, investigating the little-understood science behind complex PTSD and how it has shaped her life. The book reckons with the hold of the past over the present, the mind over the body—and examines our ability to reclaim agency from trauma.

We encourage folks to get books from your local library, Libby, or local bookstores like Birdhouse Books. If you prefer having your own digital copy, you can check out Bookshop.

Event is completely free. A very big thanks to Birdhouse Books for hosting us in their space.
