Anti-Racism Talk by Harrison Mooney

UFV and community members are invited to attend a hybrid anti-racism talk by journalist and author Harrison Mooney, the winner of the Rakuten Kobo Emerging Writer Prize for his 2022 memoir Invisible Boy. He shares his journey from “white cult to Black consciousness as a transracial adoptee raised in a white evangelical Abbotsford family”. On February 7, the UFV alumnus returns for an in-depth discussion of adoption, abandonment, identity, faith, and his heart-breaking yet often hilarious book, which reclaimed his life story and led him back home.

When: Friday, February 7, 2025, from 4–6 PM PST
Where: Attend in person or virtually. In-person spaces are limited, and refreshments will be provided.
Registration: https://forms.office.com/r/xkGMxFtmH4

This event is hosted by the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee of the Faculty of Education, Community, and Human Development, with sponsorship from CIVL Radio. The room number and virtual link will be sent to registered participants closer to the event.
