Josselyn’s Auxiliary Board invites you to
A Compelling Evening with Author Maya Shanbhag Lang

Join Josselyn as Maya shares the intricate themes of her work, exploring the profound relationships between mothers and daughters, the dance between lies and truths, and the complexities of women’s identities.
What We Carry is more than a memoir, it’s a collective reflection on relationships and healing. It invites readers to examine the stories we tell ourselves and others and to find liberation in shedding the burdens we carry.
Maya’s insights resonate deeply with many communities and will inspire vibrant discussions on the transformative power of storytelling.

“I came up from the frigid grayish-blue depths, and I had to gear up for the fight of my life—pain and extreme discomfort. This was to be my legacy and my future. So much of who I once was had been lost.”
