La La Lil Jidar presents a community celebration of Sarah Aziza's debut memoir The Hollow Half (Catapult Books) followed by a post-reading conversation moderated by Camonghne Felix. Joining Aziza will be special guest readers Candice Iloh and Angbeen Saleem. Hosted by: Denice Frohman and Jess X. Snow. Books will be for sale and all proceeds will be donated to support Sarah Aziza’s family in Gaza.
Fundraising for Sarah Aziza's family in Gaza: Our goal is to raise $5,000 to support Sarah's family in Gaza who face a lack of food and adequate shelter after having been displaced multiple times because of the ongoing genocide. We will also have La La Lil Jidar posters, Palestine art, and shirts for sale.
Food will be provided by Renata's Kitchen. We encourage attendees to come early (6PM) before the event begins (6:30PM) to eat, mingle and buy merch.
Limited tickets at $45+ reserve a copy of The Hollow Half.
All other tickets sliding scale.
