SUMMARY:Beyond the Folding Chair: An evening with Lauren McKeon
DESCRIPTION:This special evening commences Domestic Violence Awareness Month\, featuring renowned author and journalist Lauren McKeon\, who will share an unflinching\, intersectional perspective to her work. \nGuests will enjoy an elevated culinary experience by Chef Sam Robertson\, live piano music\, an exclusive silent auction\, and a book signing with McKeon. \nMcKeon’s writing critiques the systems that keep women from taking a seat at the table and pushes us to ask: What’s beyond the folding chair? Her keynote will challenge attendees to think critically about power\, gender\, and what it takes to build new\, equitable spaces. \nCurrently Executive Editor of Non-Fiction at Harper Collins Canada\, Lauren has held senior editorial roles at Toronto Life\, Reader’s Digest\, The Walrus\, and This Magazine. Her work has appeared in Maclean’s\, Chatelaine\, Hazlitt\, and more. She is the author of three groundbreaking books—Women of the Pandemic\, No More Nice Girls\, and F-Bomb: Dispatches from the War on Feminism—with a forthcoming memoir from McClelland & Stewart. \nTickets: $60 — includes appetizers\, an alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage\, and silent auction access. All proceeds support Three Oaks Foundation’s work to support women and children affected by intimate partner violence.
