Renowned author, Shauna Singh Baldwin presenting at this year’s Ehsaas South Asian Readers and Writers Festival.
Shauna will be presenting her talk, titled Why Names Matter where she will address how a story truly begins the moment we name a character. Patriarchy, that longest running empire in the world, claims us with a last name, then further differentiates us by gendered first names. What name would you give yourself? Some of us may silence our own names, take androgynous names, pen names, respond to nicknames or code names. In this talk, Shauna tells us why we should legitimate and encourage matrilineal and creative naming.
All are invited to attend and refreshments will be provided.
