Malala Yousafzai: Finding My Way
Join the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and bestselling author as she takes audiences through her deeply personal new memoir in an intimate live conversation.
Yousafzai shares her story of friendship and first love, of mental health and self-discovery, and of learning to define yourself on your own terms.
At just 15, Malala Yousafzai quickly became a global symbol of courage after surviving the Taliban’s brutal attack on her life for advocating for girls’ education in Pakistan. Her new memoir takes readers beyond the headlines and into the years she spent struggling to find her place in an unfamiliar world.
Hear her reclaim the story of her own life in a night of humour, honesty and vulnerability, as she reflects on identity, growing up in the spotlight and what it truly means to find your way.
Yousafzai is an activist and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of her work for education and equality. She is the bestselling author of three books and president of Extracurricular Productions.
