Nadia Owusu, who was originally scheduled to open the Chippewa Valley Book Festival, will instead be the final speaker this evening with her virtual presentation “Reclaiming Our Stories.”
Owusu had to postpone her appearance, which was intended to open this year’s 23rd annual festival a week ago. Her presentation tonight will run from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. and will be co-hosted by UW-Stout’s Literature Committee. It will be available only online.
Owusu’s memoir Aftershocks was named best book of 2021 by National Public Radio as well as by various other media outlets. Her presentation is free but advance registration is required.
