Join me and one of my besties, the phenomenal Malkia Devich Cyril, for a conversation about trauma, grief, and transformation. In the 2000’s I had the great honor of co-founding the organization now known as MediaJustice with Malkia, and since then Malkia and I have walked parallel paths as movement builders, writers, conveners, and now journeyfolk exploring the depths of individual, community, and structural experiences of the overlapping but distinct terrains of psychological trauma and grief. Bay Area community, hope you’ll come out to be part of the conversation.
Hosted by Pegasus Books in Downtown Berkeley.

Image description: A graphic with a purple background. At the top, it reads “NERVOUS.” Below that, it reads, “Essays on Heritage and Healing.” On the left side of the image is the cover of NERVOUS. Next to the cover are photos of Jen Soriano and Malkia Devich-Cyril. Jen is smiling softly as she looks directly at the camera. Her black hair is swept to the side and she is wearing red lipstick and a white blouse. Devich-Cyril is looking directly at the camera, a slight smile on their face. They are wearing a black cap, narrow black glasses, and a blue plaid button-down. Below the photos, it reads, “Jen Soriano in conversation with Malkia Devich-Cyril.” Below that, it reads, “Thursday, 10/26 at 7PM,” and then below that, “Pegasus Downtown | 2349 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley.” Next to that is Pegasus’s logo, a pegasus with its head looking down, as if eating something from the ground.
