Vital Voices Hosts Roundtable Discussion with Liberian Activist Leymah Gbowee

Vital Voices and Beast Books invite you to an intimate event featuring internationally renowned Liberian peace activist Leymah Gbowee.  

“Mighty Be Our Powers reminds us that even in the worst of times, humanity's best can shine through.”

- Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, 1984

Gbowee’s memoir: MIGHTY BE OUR POWERS: How Sisterhood, Prayer, and Sex Changed a Nation at War launches nationwide on Tuesday, September 13th, and Gbowee features prominently in the forthcoming PBS series, Women, War and Peace.

We are thrilled to extend this special invitation to bring your lunch and your curiosity, and to join Gbowee in a conversation about both her own experiences standing up for peace and civil rights in wartorn Liberia, and about how to identify and approach conflicts in our own communities.
