Using accessible spaces, we facilitate online and in person events that inspire, empower and connect folx of all/no genders. Our events include speakers and storytellers, networking and support. After each gathering, we donate partial proceeds to a local initiative benefitting Vancouver’s marginalized communities.
We are striving to create a financially, socially and physically accessible environment for all. All our venues will have wheelchair accessibility, gender neutral bathrooms, and we offer sliding scale and a limited number of sponsored tickets. To offer any feedback on ways we can improve on inclusion, visit our Get Involved page.
This has been a long time coming...and I am so excited!
If you're like me, you're a passionate learner, but maybe a slow, easily distracted reader (thanks Netflix), and you crave more accountability for nurturing a steady reading habit. You are a respectful human, who is wired for connection and happy to participate in healthy discourse, or sometimes just observe it.
Well then, Grace Club Book Club welcomes you with open arms!
This is an easy, affordable way to connect with lovely humans, further intersectional feminist discussion, and encourage growth and activism within our #GraceClubYVR community, with proceeds going to support UNYA ... who’s in?
WHAT:
The first book will be A Mind Spread Out On The Ground by Alicia Elliott
I could read this one over and over again, and as far as I'm concerned, it should be required reading for all settler Canadians.
Here's what The Internet said about it: "A Mind Spread Out On The Ground is a vocal, participatory book of essays that will demand questioning and confession of complicity. And because of this, an honest, hopeful book in its surgical incision to get at the root of Indigenous experience, suffering, and chance for personal, political, and social change."
If you want to get really excited about this book, read these reviews here:
Also-bonus- I was super stoked to discover that the author will be speaking here at this awesome literary festival in March, so sign up here for more info on that!
