Join us for the next lean in, sisters event as we explore Briefly Perfectly Human by Alua Arthur. This New York Times bestselling memoir encourages us to reflect on our lives with honesty and courage, and reminds us of the value of living authentically. Together we’ll discuss community, connection, and what it really means to embrace each day. Recognized as one of the best books of the year by both the New York Times and the Boston Globe, Alua’s memoir offers thoughtful insights about finding meaning and strength in every moment by facing our own mortality. We will discuss themes of vulnerability, compassion, and honest connection through stories of life, death, and resilience.
“A truly unique, inspiring perspective on the time we have, what we dowith it, and how we let go of this world....
