What We Inherit: Family Memory, Migration, and the Stories We Carry

Join Andrea Gunraj, author of Go-Between Girl: My Indentured Roots as Reclaimed Present, for a thoughtful exploration of the stories families pass down and the silences that shape us just as deeply. Drawing on her Indo-Caribbean heritage, the author reflects on memory, migration, and identity while inviting audiences of all experiences and backgrounds to consider their own personal legacies, spoken and under-spoken. This engaging talk and reading asks how the past lives within us, what we choose to carry forward, and how storytelling can help us understand where we come from.
