Join COD for an evening with Stephanie Land, New York Times bestselling author and economic and social justice activist. Land’s debut memoir, "Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive," tells the powerful story of her journey as a single mother navigating the challenges of poverty after escaping a violent home. "Maid" has received numerous accolades, including being named a Notable Book of the Year by The New York Times and The Washington Post. The book also serves as the inspiration for Netflix's Golden Globe and Emmy Award-nominated original series "Maid."
Following her keynote address, there will be a moderated Q&A session with Bridge Communities CEO Amy Van Polen. After the presentation, Land will sign copies of "Maid" in the MAC lobby.
Each ticket holder will receive a copy of "Maid."
