SUMMARY:My Name Is Why by Lemn Sissay
DESCRIPTION:Part historical\, part political but most of all – hugely inspirational. \n\n\n\nAcclaimed British author Lemn Sissay OBE – a BAFTA-nominated\, International prize-winning writer\, poet\, playwright and broadcaster – will keep the audience enthralled with this scoop of an event for Sheffield and Migration Matters Festival. \n\n\n\nHe will share his rollercoaster life story and read powerful extracts from his Sunday Times best-selling memoir\, My Name is Why. \n\n\n\nThe book reflects on his childhood in care\, self-expression and Britishness\, and in doing so\, exploring the institutional care system\, race\, family and the meaning of home. \n\n\n\nThis event will also feature a set by Sarah Orola \n\n\n\nThe Land of Many Waters flows through me. My words transcend boundaries and give voice to a nation. Born in Ireland to parents of Nigerian and Guyanese descent has given me a beautiful yet complex insight into my diverse world.My journey of self-awareness is heavily reflected in my poetry. Scribbling my thoughts on paper and bringing those words alive has helped me explore my afro-caribbean identity to share with others.

SUMMARY:Consumed - Q&A with Aja Barber
DESCRIPTION:As part of our Independent Bookshop Week celebrations\, La Biblioteka is delighted to be hosting an online sit-down between Hannah Wilson of My Indie Wardrobe and Aja Barber\, discussing her book Consumed: The need for Collective Change; Colonialism\, Climate Change & Consumerism.  \n\n\n\nFrom the embedded injustice at the heart of the things we buy\, and how and why we passively accept them\, to how we can become an active agent of change through our purchasing power and self-awareness\, Aja’s book positively enforces compassionate individual agency as the root of global systemic change.  \n\n\n\nIf you’d like to ask Aja a question\, get in touch via Instagram before or during the live event. \n\n\n\nAbout Consumed: \n\n\n\nAja Barber wants change. In the ‘learning’ first half of the book\, she will expose you to the endemic injustices in our consumer industries and the uncomfortable history of the textile industry; one which brokered slavery\, racism and today’s wealth inequality. \n\n\n\nAnd how these oppressive systems have bled into the fashion industry and its lack of diversity and equality. She will also reveal how we spend our money and whose pockets it goes into and whose it doesn’t (clue: the people who do the actual work) and will tell her story of how she came to learn the truth.  \n\n\n\nIn the second ‘unlearning’ half of the book\, she will help you to understand the uncomfortable truth behind why you consume the way you do. \n\n\n\nShe asks you to confront the sense of lack you have\, the feeling that you are never quite enough and the reasons why you fill the aching void with consumption rather than compassion. And she makes you challenge this power disparity\, and take back ownership of it. The less you buy into the consumer culture the more power you have. \n\n\n\nConsumed will teach you how to be a citizen\, not a consumer. \n\n\n\nThis event will be recorded and shared across our social platforms after the event\, as far as rights allow.
