Connecting Culture and Community: Mindful Reading Practice of America Ferrera excerpt

This workshop focuses on an excerpt from our Buffs One Read book, American Like Me: Reflections on Life Between Cultures by America Ferrera. During our time together, we will introduce ourselves to the book and reorient to a slower reading practice. We will share responses not with an aim of expertise, but instead with the aim of listening to ourselves and one another. This session is for anyone interested in learning more about American Like Me and contemplative reading techniques. You are invited to attend whether or not you’ve read American Like Me.
